Why Choose Us
Every Minute Counts: Treating Heart Conditions Quickly
Our specially trained cardiologists and vascular surgeons use catheter-based procedures to diagnose and treat heart disease, vascular disease, and valve disease in our two cardiac catheterization (cath) labs. Our cath lab fully functions 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so patients can be treated immediately in an emergency.
Bringing Our Stroke Experts to You
When an individual is experiencing a stroke, quick and effective treatment is the best hope for survival and recovery. Our telestroke technology connects immediately from our Belpre Medical Campus and Marietta Memorial Hospital Campus EDs to stroke experts at OhioHealth when necessary. Using high-resolution TV monitors and cameras, a stroke specialist has a virtual presence at our patient’s bedside.
