PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center’s newly expanded Cardiovascular Imaging Center opened on Monday, Aug. 22. The center is located in the Marble Building at 2980 Squalicum Parkway, Suite 219 on the ground floor.
The new 10,000 square foot Cardiovascular Imaging Center will include:
- Five vascular ultrasound rooms, an increase from three previously
- Six echo labs, an increase from four
- A Cardiovascular Recovery and Procedure Unit where outpatient non-invasive cardiovascular procedures can be performed, including Transesophageal Echocardiograms (TEE), cardioversions, and loop recorders
- Expanded nuclear medicine camera capabilities, including faster scan times to serve more patients per day, and the ability to move other non-cardiac outpatient studies from the hospital to this new imaging center
Regionally, the new Cardiovascular Imaging Center is unique because it combines several cardiovascular technologies and outpatient procedures in one convenient location for patients. More than new equipment, this center will mean substantially more access to critical cardiovascular diagnostic services for our community, leading to improved overall heart care.
