Galion Hospital opens pain/endovascular wing

Doc­tors and admin­is­tra­tive staff at the Galion Com­mu­nity Hos­pi­tal gath­ered Tues­day night for the grand open­ing of the Pain Man­age­ment Cen­ter and the Endovas­cu­lar Lab. Diag­nos­tic pro­ce­dures and oper­a­tions will occur in this room, includ­ing blood clot removal, stint inser­tion and some catheterizations.

Another oper­at­ing room in the remod­eled sec­tion of the hos­pi­tal will be used for pro­ce­dures to reduce chronic back pain and other types of chronic pain. “This will prob­a­bly be one of the best pain cen­ters in the state,” said hos­pi­tal CEO Jerry Morasko. Doc­tors in the pain man­age­ment and endovas­cu­lar depart­ments began see­ing patients in the remod­eled wing last week.

Hos­pi­tal staff cut the rib­bon for the offi­cial open­ing.
