In 2007, John Leben was figuratively adrift in some rather treacherous waters. A sailing buff with a family history of cancer, John was not overly surprised when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. What was surprising, though, was the technology that would help him recover in weeks instead of months.

Thanks to Holland Hospital’s new da Vinci Surgical System, which allows for a more precise surgery and faster recovery times, John was cancer free and back on his boat within a month. Which, for John, meant smooth sailing in more ways than one.
