Some of Nation's Top Cardiologists Discuss New Cardiac Catheterization Lab Now Open at NYP/Lawrence Hospital |

May 20, 2015: Doctors from NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital told an audience of 80 people at the Bronxville Public Library on May 7 how the hospital's new cardiac catheterization lab will improve heart care in Westchester.
"Having this service available locally will absolutely improve the outcomes of patients having heart attacks and, plain and simple, will save lives," said Dr. Mark Apfelbaum, director of the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence and a cardiology professor at Columbia University Medical Center.
Edward M. Dinan, president and CEO of NYP/Lawrence Hospital, welcomed attendees, and the presentation was moderated by Anthony Mercando, MD, a cardiologist with Lawrence Medical Associates.
Participants included a roster of top cardiologists and surgeons from ColumbiaDoctors, the faculty practice of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center, several of whom are seeing patients at the new facility. They included Tamim M. Nazif, MD, associate professor of medicine, Anthony Pucillo, MD, director of cardiac operations, Allan Schwartz, MD, professor and chief of the division of cardiology, and Craig R. Smith, MD, professor and chair of the department of surgery.
Presenters discussed the causes of heart attacks and improvements in treating and preventing them. They emphasized the value of the new lab, which brings some of the nation's top physicians and services directly into the community.
Patients in Bronxville can now have the same quality of care as that provided by NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and can be treated by the doctors at that hospital, which has the number-one rated heart program in New York State and the number-three ranked program in the US, according to U.S. News & World Report.
Eastchester resident Philip E. Parker said of the new lab, "It's a godsend." Had the lab existed years earlier when he first had a heart attack, he said, "I never would've had to leave my backyard."
During the presentation, he thanked Dr. Mercando, who treated two of his cardiac episodes in the past. "He has greatly extended my expiration date," Parker said.

NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital
In July 2014, Lawrence Hospital and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital established a new relationship aimed at enhancing care, improving access and lowering health care costs for residents of Bronxville and surrounding communities in Westchester County. Lawrence was renamed NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital.
Lawrence Hospital Center was founded in 1909 and is a 291-bed acute care facility with over 1100 employees and 400 physicians. It provides emergency care to approximately 35,000 individuals every year. It became a designated New York State Stroke Center in 2006. Its physicians provide expertise in virtually every area of medical specialty and include over 100 primary care physicians. And, Lawrence delivers about 2000 babies every year in the home-like setting of newly designed Labor and Delivery recovery rooms.
Outpatient services include diagnostic testing and laboratory services, ambulatory surgery options, and rehabilitation and sports medicine services. The Hospital has a Women`s Imaging Center where female patients receive diagnostic services in a private setting. Outpatient physical therapy, lymphedema therapy, speech and occupational therapy services are provided both on-site at the Hospital and at Lawrence`s satellite center, The Center for Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, in Scarsdale.
The Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. The Hospital is fully licensed by the New York State Department of Health. Lawrence`s laboratory is accredited by the College of American Pathologists.
