Dignity Health Memorial Hospital to Open Bakersfield's First State-of-the-Art Hybrid Catheterization LAB
BAKERSFIELD, CA – August 24, 2018 – The Sarvanand Heart & Brain Center at Memorial Hospital, Kern County’s premiere medical center for cardiovascular and neurological care, announces the expansion of its nationally recognized cardiac and neuro programs to offer high-tech, quality care to Bakersfield and our surrounding communities.
The hybrid capabilities of the new lab – an integration of Cath Lab and Operating Room – brings advanced procedures best delivered in an integrated room that allows both surgical and intravascular procedures to occur sequentially or simultaneously, without moving the patient from one procedure room to another.
Memorial will be holding a Dedication and Donor Reception on Wednesday, August 29, 2018. Media is invited to attend and interview opportunities will be available with Dignity Health cardiac and neuro specialists and members of the Lajpat and Kailash Munger Family.
This event is private and not open to the public.
DATE: Wednesday, August 29, 2018
TIME: 5:00-7:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Cath Lab Waiting Room – 2nd Floor | Memorial Hospital – 420 34th Street, Bakersfield, CA 93301
Bringing advanced cardiovascular services to Memorial Hospital is made possible by generous community donors like local agriculture family, the Mungers. Their gift of $3.5 million helped establish the Sarvanand Heart & Brain Center. Founded in 2012, this cardiac center includes the area’s only Bi-plane Interventional Suite, Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Program (TAVR), and Hybrid Cath Lab.
