Redefining Chronic CARE at The Ed Dardanell Heart and Vascular Center
Forbes Capital Campaign Projects This campaign has resulted in better service to the region with more advanced services. As a result of the more than $10+ million that was raised, more lives will be saved and the residents of this region will receive the care they need in their own community. The Ed Dardanell Heart and Vascular Center – Meeting Underserved Heart Care Needs
A recent study concluded that the West Penn - Forbes service area has a high incidence of heart disease and an underserved cardiovascular population. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, surpassing stroke, chronic lung disease, accidents and all forms of cancer. For patients in the midst of a cardiac crisis, immediate intervention is critical to their survival and long-term prognosis. The new Ed Dardanell Heart and Vascular Center includes new operating rooms, new cardiac catheterization facilities, and a new surgical intensive care unit that enable doctors to perform advanced procedures that save lives and allow us to provide better care. A most generous contribution of $1 million from Mr. Ed Dardanell, an original member of the Forbes Health Foundation Board of Directors, launched the Capital Campaing which raised $10+ million for the Center. The New Women's and Infants Care Center Family Centered Care all in One Area The Gerald McGinnis Emergency Department Bigger - Better - Faster The new Gerald McGinnis Emergency Department opened in early 2006, providing our patients access to the latest technology and equipment, as well as comfort, privacy, and efficiency in space twice the size of the previous department.
