Recently, the cardiovascular care team at Washington Health System’s main hospital, WHS Washington Hospital had a reason to celebrate.  Not only have they helped countless heart patients recover from various heart conditions, but recently they have helped 100 local patients suffering from non-valvular atrial fibrillation reduce their stroke risk without the use of blood thinners. This is all made possible with a device procedure called WATCHMAN.

Mark your calendar and plan on joining us at Thomas Presbyterian for a show put on by the ‘Wild World of Animals’. The Show will be Saturday September 24 and will begin at 4:00 PM.
