At Memorial Heart and Vascular Services, we perform more than 12,000 cardiac and vascular cath lab procedures and over 1600 cardiac and vascular surgeries each year. But that's only one part of the patient-centered care that we deliver. Our care begins with community education and awareness, and ends with the desired goal: wellness.
Lung Volume Reduction Surgery is often the last treatment option available for people suffering from severe emphysema. Five LVRS programs are certified by the Joint Commission nationwide. Memorial Medical Center offers the only program certified in Illinois.
In this video, two patients share how Lung Volume Reduction Surgery changed their lives, and Dr. Stephen Hazelrigg describes the LVRS process.
