“Changing
of the Guard”
FEBRUARY 2016
as good as any other hospital, just at
your doorstep. Our time is very quick
and that’s a very good thing because
we are able to save more heart muscle,” he said.
As the program continues to grow,
the community continues to increase
the use of the heart and vascular center. “We do great quality work and
we are at a point to offer additional
services,” he continued. “In order to
be more efficient in providing faster
time for our patients, the second cath
lab is going to be very helpful in that
regard. It’s very positive for the hospital and for the doctors to add services to our community. I’m excited
because we can work on two patients
simultaneously which means less delay. If you only have one room and an
emergency comes in you have to vacate. As the quality of care has grown
more patients are being brought to the
hospital for these services, so we are
growing together,” said Dr. Agha.
February was proclaimed Heart
Month first in 1964 by then-president
Lyndon B. Johnson and by each
president since then. A great cause
for celebration locally is WRMC rolling out its second catheterization
lab in February 2016. The event will
coincide with a community celebration of life at the hospital on Feb. 25
from 4-6 p.m. The hospital is inviting
all patients who have experienced
care in the hospital’s heart and vascular care center to attend and enjoy
refreshments and a tour of the new
facility. It is also hosting a Go Red
Think Pink Heart Seminar as part of
its Healthy Woman initiative on Feb.
18 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. at the Doss
Heritage and Culture Center. Tickets
to the Healthy Woman event are $10
each and seating is limited. Contact
Natalie Waskel at 817-582-1757 for
reservations.
