For more than 30 years, state-of-the-art technology
and advanced surgical techniques have been at the heart of
everything we do at Denton Regional Medical Center. Our team
of cardiovascular experts have been at the forefront of cardiac
care for more than three decades, providing our patients with
better outcomes, less invasive procedures, smaller incisions, and
shorter hospital stays.
Now there is another FIRST for Denton County…Denton
Regional introduces a new level of care for Heart patients with
the opening of its Radial Lounge. The Radial Lounge houses
special treatment rooms with individual lounge chairs, high
def televisions, and Wi-Fi access. Patients can relax while they
recover after undergoing transradial catheterization procedures.
That’s one more reason why we’re more than a heart hospital.
We’re care you can trust.
