Congratulations, Iona Jones, for your Champion of Health Care Award. This year, Jones was elected as president of the Auxiliary Board, which manages the hospital's gift shop -- a key revenue source for the auxiliary. The funds raised to support important projects for the hospital that aren't covered by the capital budget, such as a new chapel, a critical care waiting room, and a new vehicle for Life Force, Erlanger's air medical program. The board also allocates $10,000 to $20,000 annually for Nurses Week. https://bit.ly/3MK1kFa

This week, Erlanger Cardiology proudly celebrated its 500th left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) procedure! LAAC devices are a game-changer for patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib), as they significantly reduce the risk of stroke by closing off the left atrial appendage. With AFib affecting around 7 million Americans and increasing stroke risk by five times, this advancement is critical for patient care. This milestone aligns perfectly with #NationalAFibAwareness Month, underscoring our ongoing efforts to raise awareness and provide the best heart care for patients in our community. #ErlangerCardiology #AFibAwareness #LAAC #StrokePrevention #HeartHealth https://bit.ly/3XZAWxe

We’re thrilled to announce Chattanooga's first successful implant of the world’s first FDA-approved heart failure device, which uses neuromodulation to improve symptoms of systolic heart failure! This groundbreaking procedure, led by Dr. Larry Shears and the incredible Erlanger Heart and Lung team, uses the power of the brain and nervous system to help patients who may not be finding enough relief from medications alone. Unlike traditional heart failure devices, this revolutionary implant contains no hardware in the heart and works by stimulating the body's natural sensors to reduce the heart's workload. With this new device, plus heart failure medications, patients are experiencing improved exercise capacity, better quality of life, and a return to the activities they love.
