Northwell Health's North Shore University Hospital has opened a $3 million cardiac catheterization laboratory, the New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based system said May 17.
The cath lab is the first of five that will be updated at North Shore University's Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y. The facility contains new equipment that reduces radiation doses from imaging and allows for more precise placements of cardiac stents. The heart hospital is the first in the Northeast to install this equipment.
The cath lab was made possible by a gift from Manuel and Claire Barron — longtime supporters of Northwell.
