Henry Ford Allegiance Health Opens Hybrid Operating Room for Advanced Heart Procedures

October 8, 2020

(October 8, 2020 10:26 AM) Henry Ford Allegiance Health has announced the introduction of a new, technologically advanced hybrid operating room for open-heart surgery. The new operating room combines the powerful imaging equipment of a cardiac catheterization lab with the specialized features of an operating room designated for open-heart surgery. Highly specialized imaging equipment allows surgeons and interventional cardiologists to perform complex minimally invasive heart and vascular procedures guided by precise, real-time pictures of the heart and circulatory system. The hybrid operating room can also accommodate a change of clinical teams and approaches if a patient requires conversion from a minimally invasive procedure to traditional open-heart surgery. “The enhanced imaging and surgical capabilities of the new hybrid operating room ensure complex cardiac patients receive optimal care in a single location. Previously, if a patient needed conversion from a minimally invasive cardiac procedure to open-heart surgery, it required transportation to an operating room.” said Henry Ford Allegiance Health Interventional Matthew Jonovich, MD. “Having a technologically equipped hybrid operating room eliminates the need for patient transfer, which can be lifesaving.” The opening of a hybrid operating room was a critical step in creating Henry Ford Allegiance Health’s Structural Heart Program. The Program…

(October 7, 2020 5:01 PM) The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is urging low-income households to take advantage of a new program for people who do not have access to water in their homes to ensure safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. Low-income Michiganders who lack access to water in their homes for washing and disinfecting surfaces, or need a plumbing repair to ensure safe and efficient water services can contact their local Community Action Agency. As part of Michigan’s Coronavirus Relief Funding, the MDHHS Water Repair Assistance Program will provide access to hot and cold water and at least one functioning toilet, shower, kitchen faucet and laundry tub. Funding is available now until Wednesday, Dec. 30 “At MDHHS we are doing what we can to keep people safe during the pandemic and make sure income limitations – some of which are the result of COVID-19 – don’t prevent them from protecting their families,” said Lewis Roubal, senior deputy director of opportunity for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, which houses the Bureau of Community Action and Economic Opportunity that oversees community action agencies. “Benefits of this program will remain long after COVID-19 by providing eligible…
