Sharon opted for closed chest, robotic surgery at Waukesha Memorial Hospital.

"One of my granddaughters was really into it," recalls Sharon. "She had seen the robots in action and said, oh, it's really cool, grandma."

And, just to set the record straight, it's not the robots that operate on people. It's a highly advanced team of humans, led by heart surgeon Husam Balkhy, M.D., a national leader in the field.

The minimally invasive procedure allowed Sharon to go home in only a few days. Yet another example of the world class care you can find, so close to home.
