What started as pre-testing for a hip replacement quickly became something much more serious. During his appointment, Ed was found to have a dangerously low heart rate and urgently needed to see a cardiologist.

Dr. Shahani stepped in and performed a life-saving quadruple bypass. Today, Ed is healing well and deeply grateful for the care he received.

As we celebrate 25 years of our Heart Tower, we’re reminded of the lives it has touched, and the patients, like Ed, whose stories define its impact.
