Members of the public will be able to see Mary Washington Healthcare’s surgical robots in action and speak with the professionals who operate them during its inaugural MWHC Robotic Surgery Expo on Friday, Nov. 1.The event will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the atrium of Mary Washington Hospital at 1001 Sam Perry Blvd. in Fredericksburg. Visitors can view live demonstrations of state-of-the-art robots, speak with surgeons, clinical specialists and robotic surgery professionals and discover the range of robots used.The event will be hosted by Moxi, a robotic hospital assistant that joined the Mary Washington Hospital staff in December 2021. Moxi is a point-to-point delivery robot, meaning it can retrieve items in one department and deliver them to another. Having the robot around means nurses, certified nursing assistants and techs can remain on the unit and spend more time with patients.

Earlier in October, MWHC became the first health-care system in central Virginia — and among the first in the world, according to the MWHC website — to utilize the da Vinci 5 robot. It’s the fifth-generation robotic system and has been decades in the making as it includes more than 150 enhancements since the last model.Dr. Avinash Narayana, division chair of robotics, completed the first surgery at Mary Washington Hospital with the da Vinci 5 robot and hailed its new features. He said the system would “allow us to perform complex procedures with greater precision and efficiency. (It’s) a game changer.”While the term “robotic surgery” sounds like robots are actually doing the operation, the system allows surgeons to control small tools that remove or repair tissues and organs laparoscopically and not through open surgery.Robotic surgery often results in less discomfort, less bleeding, less time in the hospital and faster recovery periods for patients, according to the American College of Surgeons. A May 2023 story on robotic surgery — once considered a futuristic idea — said the industry had grown significantly in the last 25 years.Intuitive Surgical, which manufactures the da Vinci systems, reported that more than 12 million robotic surgery procedures have been performed and more than 60,000 surgeons around the world have been trained on its systems.Mary Washington Hospital introduced its robotics program in 2008 and has upgraded technology since then, including adding surgical robots for lung cancer detection and knee and hip replacements. Stafford Hospital introduced its robotic surgery program in late 2023.

Prime Video is sadly losing two of the greatest movie trilogies this month — “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit.” Of course, I had to choose the first movie that started this iconic franchise, which is “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.”The movie follows the journey of a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) who inherits a powerful artifact known as the One Ring from his uncle, Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm). The One Ring was created by the dark lord Sauron to control the other Rings of Power and conquer Middle-earth. Realizing the Ring’s corruptive power and the threat it poses if it falls into Sauron’s hands, Frodo is tasked with destroying it. He must take it to Mount Doom, the only place where it can be unmade.To aid him on this quest, Frodo is joined by a diverse group of companions known as the Fellowship of the Ring, which includes his loyal friend Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin), the wise wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), the human ranger Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), the elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom), the dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies), and Boromir (Sean Bean), a man of Gondor. As they journey across Middle-earth, the Fellowship faces attacks from Sauron’s minions and the Ring’s overwhelming power.]Watch on Prime Video until October 31

Atmos Energy donated $2 million to food banks across the eight states it serves in recognition of Hunger Action Month in September. Hunger Action Month is designed to raise awareness about food insecurity and inspire action to combat hunger. The East Texas Food Bank in Tyler, which serves Longview, received $50,000.“It takes significant resources to fight hunger and address nutritional instability, so the goal of these dollars is to aid food banks who coordinate with local charities, schools, churches, and shelters to support individuals and families struggling to afford basic necessities,” said Darwin Winfield, Atmos Energy manager of public affairs. “As Atmos Energy continues Fueling Safe and Thriving Communities, we are extremely proud to partner with local food banks and further their mission in the areas we serve.”Texas Bank awardThe Independent Bankers Association of Texas has awarded Texas Bank in Henderson with two Best of Community Banking Awards. The bank received a Gold Eagle Award for its “Anna’s Angel Tree” community service entry and a Bronze Eagle Award for its “Main Bank Remodel” architectural design entry.The goal for Anna’s Angel Tree is to provide Christmas for underprivileged students in the Anna ISD School District. Despite the overall strains on the economy during 2023, Anna’s Angel Tree helped provide gifts to more than 400 students in Anna ISD and raised additional cash gifts on top of the gift giving.After 35 years in its Main Bank facility, the bank was feeling the constraints of the inefficiencies throughout its location. The overall customer facing areas also were dated and needed revamping. With 2023 marking the 50th anniversary for Texas Bank, the shareholders and directors wanted to give back to the staff and the community of Henderson by improving the look and feel of the bank.Bubba’s 33 offers free Veterans Day lunchesAll Bubba’s 33 locations, including restaurants in Longview and Tyler, will continue their annual Veterans Day tradition of welcoming veterans and active U.S. military to enjoy free lunch on Nov. 11.For veterans and active military unable to attend this year’s event, the restaurant will distribute raincheck vouchers good through May 31.All veterans, including active, retired or former U.S. military, can choose one of six entrees plus a choice of any Coca-Cola product, sweet tea/ice tea or coffee during lunch.Proof of service includes military or VA card or discharge papers.Lunch will be served 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Nov. 11.
