UCHealth Greeley Hospital of Greeley, Colo., recently became the first healthcare facility in the United States to adopt the Mobilett Elara Max, a mobile X-ray system from Siemens Healthineers that enables comprehensive IT security as well as secure system integration into the hospital’s IT environment.
