Franciscan Physicians Hospital, proud to announce the opening of their new Philips FD20 Cath Lab, held a blessing of the space on Wednesday, June 1st, in the hospital's lower level. The new FD20 is a state-of-the-art lab that provides enhanced image quality with flat-panel technology.
During the blessing, Father Gregory Holicky was designated as Celebrant, with Barb Greene, FPH President, and Tracey Franovich, VP of OPerations/CNO, welcoming guests and providing the opening remarks.
Recommitment reading was done by Sister Jane Marie, Chairperson for the Board of Trustees, and Dr. Paul Jones, Interventional Cardiologist and Endovascular Specialist, read the Word of God.
Procedures afforded by the new Philips system will provide the level of detail image necessary for complex surgical/endovascular procedures such as peripheral vascular work, carotid stenting, complex revascularization and complex thoracic and abdominal aneurysm repairs.
FPH President Barb Greene states, "We're moving in an expansive new direction with this technologically advanced machine. The Philips system is going to provide Franciscan Physicians Hospital with some of the most definitive interventional abilities in the NWI region and greater Chicago land area. We look forward to promoting its capabilities with our exceptional Cardiology team."
With technician training now complete, cases will begin this week in the hospital's new cath lab.
