Updated Cardiac Cath Lab The first cardiac catheterization procedure at GRMC was performed in April 2012. Since that time, we have doubled our procedure space and cared for more than 8,000 patients receiving cardiac, peripheral, interventional radiology and implantation procedures. Our patients come from a wide region beyond Seguin, including Gonzales, Caldwell, Wilson and Dewitt counties. We are currently in the process of updating one of the procedure rooms with a state-of-theart Siemens ARTIS icono model that provides improved resolution and operability. What’s happening at GRMC? 5 | GRMC Health Currents OUR CARDIAC CATH LAB TEAM Sidhanta Gurung, MD, is one of several highly skilled interventional cardiologists who perform catheterization procedures at GRMC to diagnose and treat cardiac occlusions. In particular, he appreciates the camaraderie, familiarity and team spirit of the staff here in Seguin. Dr. Gurung practices with Megan Barnwell, MD, and William Craig, MD, of the Craig Cardiovascular Center. He expresses high regard for the GRMC Cath Lab equipment and staff, and he is confident that his patients will always receive top-level care and personal attention here. The Cath Lab staff echoes his sentiments. The ability to provide one-on-one, comprehensive care to the patients in a collaborative, critical-care setting provides high job satisfaction and the ability to connect personally with each patient and their family members. This opportunity definitely sets GRMC apart from the assembly-line, corporate culture found in many large healthcare systems. CARDIAC AND PULMONARY REHABILITATION GRMC’s nationally certified Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab department provides medically supervised prescription exercise therapy and dietary guidance after any significant cardiac event or due to chronic pulmonary disease. Integrated within the Wellness Center gymnasium, the patients referred to this service find a welcoming and knowledgeable clinical staff to help them transition to a healthy new lifestyle. Indeed, the program is so successful that patients from San Antonio, Austin and towns in between have discovered that GRMC’s cardiac rehab program is well worth the drive.
