Milestone Moment in Heart Care!
Our incredible cardiologists and Cardiac Cath Lab team are celebrating a major achievement — 300 Impella heart pump implants!
The Impella is a temporary, catheter-based heart pump that supports patients during high-risk procedures or in cardiogenic shock. It helps the heart rest and recover by assisting with blood flow — a truly life-saving tool in modern cardiac care.
This milestone reflects our team's dedication, skill, and commitment to delivering advanced care right here in our community.
We’re proud to be making a difference — one heartbeat at a time.
