Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital expands cardiac services with new cardiac surgery program
Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital has enhanced its cardiac care services with the launch of a new cardiac surgery program, which opened earlier this month. Under the leadership of Dr. Viacheslav Bobovnikov, MD, a cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon and assistant professor at UTHealth Houston, the surgical team performed its first case on Aug. 5.
This $13 million expansion, which includes a new operating room and cardiovascular intensive care unit, will enable the hospital to offer higher levels of complex care to cardiac patients in the surrounding community.
“With the opening of our cardiac surgery program, we are directly investing in the health of our community for future generations to come,” said Nikki Roux, vice president and chief operations officer for Memorial Hermann Northeast. “We deeply value the trust our patients place in us, and this new program allows us to build upon the exceptional care they have come to know and rely on from our teams.”
The new program offers a wide range of cardiac procedures such as coronary artery bypass graft and heart-valve surgery and will provide comprehensive cardiac services from diagnostic care to surgery to cardiac rehab.
Memorial Hermann Northeast Hospital, a 257-bed facility, has been serving the north Houston and Kingwood communities for over 30 years. The hospital has been repeatedly recognized for excellence in patient care, most recently receiving a Platinum Performance Award from the American College of Cardiology’s NCDR Chest Pain – MI Registry.
