"Having a dedicated EP Lab in Texarkana will allow us to treat complex and life-altering heart rhythm problems with great convenience to the patients and their family members. This means less time off work, less time driving to the nearest referral center, and - specifically for family members - less time commuting back and forth between the hospital and their homes. Many of these patients have a long standing relationship with the doctors and nurses at CHRISTUS St. Michael and will be much more comfortable having their procedure in a familiar place. I think it will allow us to reach many patients who could not have made the long journey to Little Rock or Dallas and will really allow us to improve the quality of their lives." - Dr. Kevin Hayes, Cardiac Electrophysiologist, Texarkana Cardiology Associates.
