The robots have come to AdventHealth! They have added disinfection robots to their arsenal of cleaning and sanitation tools and protocol. The robots can be used in operating rooms, patients rooms, and anywhere else that requires disinfection; in addition to making hospital rooms safer, they can also be used to disinfect personal protective equipment.
