A milestone moment for healthy hearts! We're thrilled to share that our Cardiac Cath Unit has completed its 100th CardioMEMS™ implant. This breakthrough device—an implantable pressure sensor used in patients with all types of congestive heart failure—is placed in a patient's pulmonary artery, allowing physicians to remotely track pressure changes that often occur before symptoms appear. The proactive monitoring process enables doctors to adjust treatment earlier, preventing complications, reducing hospitalizations, and helping patients manage their condition more effectively.

This achievement reflects the skill and dedication of our care team, as well as the life-changing impact of advanced technology on patient outcomes. Here's to 100 and counting!
