Kelly Laurel: How To Bring Surgery to the Patient

What if life-saving surgery didn't have to wait for an operating room? Imagine a portable surgical environment that can be set up in under five minutes, bringing care closer to patients in hospitals, disaster zones, and remote communities.

In this episode of Conversations with Rich Bennett, retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and SurgiBox President and CEO Kelly Laurel shares how the innovative SurgiField System could change the future of surgical care.

Drawing from her military healthcare career and her personal experience waiting weeks for a procedure that took only minutes, Kelly explains why access to surgical infrastructure can be just as important as access to skilled surgeons.

In this conversation, you'll discover:

• How SurgiBox creates a protected surgical environment using portable, HEPA-filtered technology.
• Why Kelly's military service helped prepare her to lead healthcare innovation.
• How the SurgiField System has been used in Ukraine, Myanmar, and Jordan.
• How portable surgery could help hospitals address surgical backlogs and disaster response.
• What's next for SurgiBox, including smaller systems and planned blood-recovery capabilities.

Kelly's mission is about more than technology. It's about helping medical teams deliver care where and when patients need it.
