Siemens Healthineers has gone ahead and launched its first U.S.-based Experience Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, at The Pearl, Advocate Health’s innovation district to address the pressing healthcare needs. The district goes on to bring together the first four-year medical school of the city, the Charlotte campus of Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and, along with it, IRCAD North America, which happens to be a center for advanced surgical training, as well as numerous of the most innovative healthcare technology companies.
Situated across 60,000 square feet, the Siemens Healthineers Experience Center USA happens to feature the most updated technologies when it comes to imaging, cancer care, and diagnostics, as well as advanced therapies.
Designed to be very immersive as well as hands-on, this facility from Siemens is going to enable industry leaders and healthcare professionals, as well as strategic partners, to go ahead and engage as well as collaborate on the most pressing healthcare needs of today. As an element of its collaboration with IRCAD North America, Siemens Healthineers is going to offer medical imaging technology and, at the same time, also support curriculum development when it comes to the surgeons along with the teams who happen to train at their new facility.
According to the president and head of the Americas at Siemens Healthineers, John Kowal, this first U.S.-based Experience Center goes on to aptly capture what and where they need to be as a company. He adds that every interaction within the center happens to be an opportunity so as to build trust, spark certain fresh ideas, and, at the same time, reinforce their dedication so as to collaborate to enhance the patient care along with treatment delivery.
It is well to be noted that the Experience Center happens to be the latest Siemens Healthineers investment as far as North Carolina is concerned, where it also operates one of the technical training centers based at Cary and at the same time also has longstanding strategic partnerships with many of the largest health systems in the state. This center is anticipated to draw thousands of domestic as well as international visitors every year. Interestingly, the U.S. happens to be the largest market for Siemens Healthineers, which goes on to generate 36% of its international revenue and employs 17,000 people across 18 locations across the country. It also happens to be the global headquarters when it comes to laboratory diagnostics, ultrasound, Varian, and molecular imaging, as well as PET businesses.
