California Selects Hospitals for Pilot Cardiac Care Program
The California Department of Public Health has launched a pilot program that will allow six hospitals across the state to provide emergency and non-emergency angioplasty and stenting without an in-hospital cardiac surgery program as a backup. The six hospitals participating in the heart catheterization program are Clovis Community Medical Center; Doctors Medical Center-San Pablo; Kaiser Permanente Walnut Creek Medical Center; Los Alamitos Medical Center; St. Rose Hospital; and Sutter Roseville Medical Center.
