The New Pulse

New and expanded facilities devoted to heart care

Things are changing at UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital. Construction has been completed for greatly expanded cardiology services including a new Cardiac Rehabilitation facility. Now residents of Chenango County can receive top-notch heart care services without having to leave the county.

Outpatient cardiology services at UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital now feature larger exam rooms, plus new areas for stress testing and other diagnostic and monitoring procedures. A pacemaker clinic has been incorporated, as well as pulmonary services, making it even more convenient for patients to receive their care in a single location.

An important part of care for many heart patients is cardiac rehabilitation. The new Cardiac Rehab facility is part of the expanded cardiology services for patients’ convenience as well as quick and easy communications among cardiology staff and rehab therapists. Cardiac Rehab has been fitted with the latest equipment for safe, effective exercise and monitoring of vital signs.

The staff of UHS Cardiology at Chenango Memorial Hospital remains the same, and is ready to share their larger facility with current and new patients. Cardiologist James O’Brien, MD, FACC, and adult nurse practitioners Sue Button and Mary Rivera are all accepting new patients and offering additional services.
