(Monroeville, PA) According to a release in from Allegheny Health Network (AHN), they announced the opening today of a newly renovated, second cardiac catheterization lab at AHN Forbes Hospital in Monroeville, which significantly expands the hospital’s ability to deliver advanced, life-saving cardiac care that is close to home for patients in eastern Allegheny County and its surrounding communities. This project marks the completion of a six-month renovation that has fully modernized Forbes Hospital’s second cath lab, which complements the first cath lab, which was upgraded three years ago. An advanced electrophysiology lab and hybrid operating room that are complete with a new reception area and post-operative recovery rooms, were constructed prior to the completion of the cath labs. Together, the two labs reinforce Forbes Hospital’s role as a regional destination for high-acuity heart care and support its growing volume of cardiac patients.
