HaysMed Cath Lab Celebrates Record-Breaking 2,000 Cases in 2025

This achievement is the culmination of decades of growth and progress. In March, we proudly celebrated 20 years of life-saving service at the Cath Lab, a cornerstone of cardiac care since its inception in 1996. Our commitment to excellence was further strengthened in 2005 when we expanded into a new space within the DeBakey Heart Institute.

Over the years, the Cath Lab has delivered a wide range of essential services including angioplasty, stenting, and diagnostic imaging, which help diagnose and treat heart and vascular conditions. A major leap forward came in 2020, when we introduced cardiac ablation procedures, a transformative advancement that enables us to treat complex heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation. This addition broadened our capabilities and positioned HaysMed as a comprehensive center for advanced cardiac care for the entire western Kansas region.

Innovation continued in February 2025 with the opening of our hybrid operating room, a game-changer for complex cardiac procedures. This state-of-the-art space combines advanced imaging and surgical technology, allowing our team to perform highly specialized interventions with greater precision and safety.

Behind these milestones is an exceptional group of professionals including physicians, cardiologists, an electrophysiologist, APRNs, Physician Assistants, radiologic technologists, operating room and cath lab nurses, and many more. Each Associate plays a vital role in delivering exceptional care to our patients.

We also extend our deepest gratitude to our patients and their families for trusting HaysMed and the DeBakey Heart Institute with your heart care. Your confidence in us drives everything we do.

As we celebrate these achievements, 20 years of service, the opening of our hybrid operating room, and 2,000 cases in one year, we look forward to continuing our mission of innovation, teamwork, and exceptional care for every patient who walks through our doors. Thank you for being part of this historic journey!
