MARIETTA — Memorial Health System’s Department of Cardiology recently celebrated a significant achievement in advanced cardiac care by completing its 100th transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure.

With this achievement, Memorial Health System continues to pave the way for advanced cardiac solutions, ensuring that patients receive the best possible treatment close to home.
