Philanthropist Stephen K. Robert co-founded the Source of Hope Foundation, which helps health institutions improve their facilities. One of the organization's notable contributions was establishing the Stephen Robert and Pilar Crespi Robert Rapid Medical Evaluation Center.

The Source of Hope Foundation and its trustees inaugurated the Rapid Medical Evaluation Center at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York City in 2015. The center aims to improve medical evaluation efficiency, offering immediate diagnoses and short wait times. The Rapid Medical Evaluation Center includes 22 treatment bays and cutting-edge diagnostic equipment at patients' bedsides.

Bedside technologies are crucial in emergency medical care, providing first responders with the necessary data for rapid and accurate treatment. Portable ultrsound machines offer swift evaluation and detection of life-threatening conditions.

These advanced bedside diagnostic technologies offer a comprehensive physiological assessment and allow clinicians to share imaging findings to facilitate informed treatment decisions. The technologies also allow clinicians to repeat evaluations to track changes over time.
