FTMC expands in Huron County

Fisher-Titus Medical Center (FTMC) hosted a ceremonial groundbreaking last month for its Heart & Vascular Center in Norwalk, Ohio.

"We have taken many measures to enhance our technology and recruit additional highly experienced physicians-and staff so that we can offer [important] services to our community," stated FTMC president Patrick J. Martin.

Along with physician office space, the estimated $11.3 million, 22,000 square foot FTMC Heart & Vascular Center addition will include two heart and vascular labs; an 11-bay pre- and post-operative area, space for non-invasive cardiac diagnostics including a stress lab, echo lab, pacemaker/device clinic, EKG, and Holter Monitoring; a new cardiac catheterization lab; relocation of the existing vascular lab and support space; and the relocation of the current cardiac rehabilitation department.

"The vision for our Heart and Vascular Center is to provide a one-stop location for all heart and vascular services right here in Huron County," Martin added. "We plan for the center to be very patient and family focused."
