DCH Health System recently unveiled a new robotic adult rehabilitation system designed to improve physical therapy for patients recovering from strokes and other neurological injuries.

The clinic serves to allow anyone who is returning to a classroom environment to get vaccinated, as the Tuscaloosa city and county school systems both resumed instruction this week.
