The cardiology-focused ASC in Gray, La., is the first of its kind in the region.
The center has two catheterization laboratories and an attached cardiovascular clinic for follow-up care.
Dr. Walker founded Cardiovascular Institute of the South in 1983. He said, “It has been my life’s mission to return home to South Louisiana to establish a world-class cardiovascular program for our area.”
He called the surgery center the latest milestone in that mission.
The center anticipates completing 10 procedures during its first operational week.
