Banner Cardiovascular: Innovation and Research

Cardiac Catheterization and Electrophysiology Laboratory Upgrades
Initiative Goal: $30 million
Banner’s Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories are showing signs of age, both in downtime frequency and the need for repeated repairs. Investments in these key clinical facilities will include extensive renovations and procurement of new technology and equipment. Replacement of outdated equipment with the latest in catheterization and interventional cardiology technologies and an overhaul of each space will enhance patient and staff comfort and safety; reduce risks of medical complications; and improve overall efficiency, staff productivity, and patient outcomes in the catheterization lab.

Sports cardiology is an emerging subspecialty field that encompasses the care of athletes and active individuals who may have known or unknown cardiovascular conditions.
