BOZEN, Sud-Tirol, Italy, August 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Health Robotics announced its upcoming schedule for pharmacy industry events, [http://www.health-robotics.com/en/about-health-robotics/events/] inviting interested Health-System pharmacists to visit the company's Second Generation Robots and workflow software solutions at pharmacy symposia in Orlando [MedAssets and ASHP], Anaheim [CHSP], Barcelona [EAHP], and Montreal [ISOPP]. As in past similar events in Melbourne, Prague, Los Angeles, Milan, and Vienna, Health-System participants will also be able to sign-up [info@health-robotics.com] to attend local hospital pharmacy site visits to Health Robotics' customers Adventist-Florida Hospital, Memorial Care-Long Beach, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, and a hospital pharmacy to be named later in the vicinity of Montreal.

Gaspar DeViedma, Health Robotics' Executive Vice President stated: "Between September 2013 and April 2014, these industry marketing events represent excellent opportunities for Health-System pharmacists to combine their planned attendance to these prestigious pharmacy educational events with the added chance to witness Health Robotics' Second Generation Robots in a "Live" environment, without the need to schedule separate hospital pharmacy site visits during their Sterile Compounding Automation due diligence processes."

Health Robotics plans to make its Senior Management Team available to customer and prospective customers during these symposia for private meetings by appointment, as well as the availability of local Health-System Directors of Pharmacy to explain and/or demonstrate the Robots' patient safety, financial benefits, ROI, staffing requirements, optimization of physical plant/space, speed/throughput, and the unsurpassed flexibility of the Robots' drug formulary.
