Allegheny is trying to raise awareness of increased risk of cardiovascular complications during pregnancy, according to a Feb. 2 press release.
The new clinic, located in Pittsburgh, is adjacent to Allegheny’s West Penn Hospital. It will be led by physician leaders Indu Poornima, MD, who directs the health system’s women’s heart center, and Devon Ramaeker, MD, director of the maternal-fetal medicine division.
Studies show that preeclampsia has grown by over 30 percent in the U.S. in the last two decades, according to the release.
Physicians at Allegheny’s new clinic will work to develop a plan for managing cardiovascular disease throughout and after pregnancy.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
