A former LVN now working in church administration, she said she wasn’t showing the symptoms every day. She finally decided to see a cardiologist. When she failed her stress test, doctors at Methodist Hospital | Texsan found three major blockages. They recommended coronary artery bypass grafting, also known as heart bypass surgery, to improve blood flow to her heart. “I had a good experience,” she said. “All of the nurses and hospital personnel, from housekeeping to food service, had excellent bedside manners. You feel like everybody cares about you, and you are not just taken care of medically, but in all aspects of your recovery.” “Dr. Renata Ford, Robotic Minimally Invasive and Thoracic Surgeon, was amazing,” added Barbara. “She prayed with me, for me and my family, and for guidance for herself during the procedure.” Methodist Hospital performs recordbreaking number of transplants The Methodist Heart Failure and Transplant Center team performed a record-breaking 51 heart transplants in 2023!
