Beverly Hospital is dedicated to the continued advancement of healthcare to meet community needs. Recently, the hospital opened its new cardiac catheterization lab in order to continue caring for cardiac patients throughout Montebello and the San Gabriel Valley. An over $2.5 million investment, the new lab will provide enhanced efficiencies for a wider range of patients in a comfortable environment.
Beverly Hospital’s Cardiology Department provides state-of-the-art diagnostic, treatment, and surgical services to patients with heart-related illnesses. Experienced physicians and surgeons work as a team with skilled cardiac anesthesiologists, surgical and critical care nurses, technicians, and other qualified staff to make sure each patient receives personal attention and expert care. Last year, the cardiac cath lab served 649 patients.
According to Peter K. Fung, M.D., F.A.C.C., Medical Director of the Cardiology Department, “We are living in an exciting era of medical interventions. Never in the history of medical technology do we have the abundance of tools to help patients as today.”
“The majority of these techniques are cath lab based. Our investment in this new lab will not only increase the depth, but also the breadth of our services. By adding newer and needed technologies, Beverly Hospital is developing a strong foundation for growth.”
