To advance cardiac care for the community, CentraState has started construction on a new Cardiovascular Interventional Suite as a single-story addition on the north side of the medical center.

This initiative will centralize cardiac catheterization, endovascular, and interventional radiology services within a modern, 9,300-square-foot three-room suite with the capacity to serve a greater number of patients. According to Jatinchandra Patel, DO, board-certified interventional cardiologist at CentraState and director of the Cardiovascular Catheterization Lab, the expansion will build upon the services provided at CentraState while serving as a foundation to adapt and accommodate the latest innovative technologies.

“With the aging patient population, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease is projected to increase,” says Dr. Patel. “The new Cardiovascular Interventional Suite will give patients much-needed additional access to care while providing CentraState’s board-certified interventional cardiologists with a state-of-the-art facility in which to perform life-saving procedures.”

Construction is expected to be completed in January 2022.
