Four cardiac catheterization laboratories help physicians
diagnose and treat cardiovascular disease. One of the three
labs is dedicated to the diagnosis of vascular
disease, which includes the carotid arteries (which when
diseased can cause strokes), renal arteries, aorta, and the
vessels of the legs.
The hospital has a six-bed post-anesthesia
care unit, a state-of-the-art electrophysiology lab, a radiology
unit, and a clinical laboratory.
In addition to acute care rooms, the hospital
has 12 private rooms dedicated to a day patient unit especially
designed for patients undergoing out-patient tests and treatment.
Families are considered part of the recovery
process. The Dayton Heart Hospital encourages family members
to stay around-the-clock with patients. In most cases families
are allowed to wait in patients' rooms as they emerge from
surgery.

To create a warm, home-like environment, each patient room
is large and private, with large windows offering views. Each
room has an oversized guest chair that converts to a bed for
a guest, and bookshelves for displaying get well cards or
family photographs. Just as newly designed maternity centers
are improving the experience for new parents, the Dayton Heart
Hospital extends a warm, home setting that is extended to
cardiac patients and family members.
A hospital stay can be an incredibly stressful
time for patients and their families. At the Dayton Heart
Hospital we aim to offer a sense of comfort and personal touches
to ease the stress. |
