Yes they did so to a significant extent. They derived much of their knowledge of medicine from the Greeks. The first doctors in Rome were Greek war captives. However, The Romans also introduced their own innovations in medical practices. Moreover, whilst for the Greeks health was a personal matter, the Romans were deeply concerned with public health. This was dealt with mainly through public sanitation works and public baths. It was only in the Late Empire that hospitals emerged. This was a very important innovation. It was influenced by the Christian ethos of caring for the poor and the sick.
