[12] In July 2014, Renown was the first on the west coast and fourth in the world to perform a surgery with the da Vinci Xi robotic surgical assistant.

[15] The agreement was said to help reduce the need for patients to travel when seeking high-level care and allowed Stanford staff to be based in Northern Nevada.

[22] In March 2022, Renown hospital system will have a new CEO effective immediately following a presentation of results from a personnel misconduct investigation.

In addition to Graf taking the CEO position, COO Sy Johnson will be serving as president, according to Renown.

Public interest in the project resulted in rapid enrollment and an unexpectedly quick finish to the first phase of the study.

In starting its second phase, the HNP partnered with personal genomics company Helix in order to gather exome sequencing data—greatly increasing the amount of genetic data collected.

In the first six months of phase II, approximately ~23,700 Nevadans were sequenced, 290 of which were found to have medically actionable results.

The HNP has announced a plan to expand the project to a total of 250,000 Nevadans with expectations that approximately 1.3% will have results that are immediately impactful for their medical care.
