Fort Lauderdale, Florida (January 7, 2026) – Holy Cross Health is advancing orthopedic care in South Florida with the addition of two Stryker Mako 4 robotics systems to its orthopedic service line. This expansion allows more patients to access total hip, total knee and partial knee procedures with highly precise, computer-assisted guidance and timely access to surgery.
“Our goal is to give patients confidence at every stage of their care,” said Pierre Monice, MBA, FACHE, President and Chief Executive Officer at Holy Cross Health. “By investing in advanced robotic technology, we’re enhancing our surgeons’ ability to deliver high-quality care and expand our capabilities to serve the community.”
The Mako 4 represents the latest in robotic-assisted surgery, combining 3D CT based surgical planning with haptic feedback technology. This helps surgeons place implants accurately, protect surrounding tissue and support smoother, more predictable recovery experiences. With two systems now in place, Holy Cross Health can extend these benefits to a larger number of patients while maintaining high standards for joint function over time.
“Adding two Mako 4 systems expands access to advanced orthopedic care for more patients in our community,” said Kurt Feil, Director of Holy Cross Medical Group (HCMG) — Musculoskeletal. “Patients want to get back to their daily lives and the activities they enjoy. This technology gives our surgeons the tools to provide care that is precise, personalized and focused on helping each patient move with confidence.”
Holy Cross Health’s expanded robotic-assisted services give more residents in Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding communities access to innovative, reliable orthopedic care close to home. By combining expertise and advanced technology, the hospital continues to strengthen its role as a trusted destination for patients seeking high-quality treatment with positive outcomes.
