Hays Medical Center has a full service heart program developed under the guiding hand of the "father of heart surgery" Dr. Michael DeBakey. The program includes 2 full time catheterization labs, interventional cardiology, nuclear cardiology, open heart surgery and cardiac rehabilitation. Patients receives one on one nursing care in ICU before being transferred to a dedicated cardiology step-down unit where they remain until discharge. A respiratory therapist is also dedicated to each patient following surgery. The heart program at HaysMed is committed to including referring physicians in the decision making process and keeping them updated on the patient's status. Priority is given to returning patients promptly to their local community hospitals and health care providers..
