Investing in a Cardiac Cath Suite for this island community is not only prudent but can mean the difference between life and death in the event of an acute cardiac event.
An interventional cardiology suite available on-site can provide the necessary medical care and intervention needed to save a patient’s life. Additionally, having an on-site Cardiac Cath Suite can reduce the amount of time it takes to diagnose and treat cardiac events, thus potentially reducing the amount of long-term damage to the heart as well as the cost of care. Having an on-site Cardiac Cath Suite can improve the quality of care offered to island residents and provide them with peace of mind knowing that their medical care is close at hand.
Care on the island would also reduce the financial burden on patients, provide care to patients who otherwise may not be able to access it off-island, and hasten life-saving specialized care for people with heart problems, such as angioplasty.
