Proper arch support stabilizes your body, reduces foot pain and distributes weight evenly, promoting healthier feet and posture.

Celebrating the Miracles of the Roberta G. Veloz Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory
by Kevin A. Klockenga
As we embrace the season, a time dedicated to raising awareness about heart health, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude. Our local hospital, Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital, has been at the forefront of cutting-edge medical advancements, and today, I want to shine a spotlight on one of our most remarkable treasures - our Roberta G. Veloz Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. In the quiet corridors of our hospital, behind closed doors, lies a place where science and compassion converge - a place where miracles unfold. The Cath Lab is not just a room; it's a sanctuary where lives are transformed, where hope is rekindled and where the impossible becomes possible. During a cardiac catheterization procedure, a thin, hollow tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel - usually in the neck, groin, or arm - and guided to the heart. Witnessing what today can be done with this catheter guided through your blood vessels is simply miraculous - beyond what most of us could ever imagine.
Decades ago, this was a modest space, offering basic diagnostics. But visionary minds, fueled by dedication and innovation, turned it into a sophisticated life-saving suite. Today, it stands as a beacon of excellence. As we celebrate Heart Month, let us recognize the heartbeat of our community - our Roberta G. Veloz Cardiac Cath Lab. It beats with compassion, courage and unwavering commitment. It is where lives are saved, where families find solace and where hope thrives. To our dedicated Cath Lab team, thank you for your tireless efforts. To our patients, you are not just cases; you are stories of resilience and triumph. Together, let us continue to create miracles - one heartbeat at a time.
