Today for #TBTriHealth, we're focusing on just last year when Good Samaritan Hospital opened and dedicated a new OB-GYN training room to Dr. Michael Baggish in October 2024!

We understand that most people won't want just anyone to handle their cancer treatment. That's why we encourage our patients to get to know our physicians before you ever even schedule an appointment with our "Meet the Doctors!" YouTube series!

Earlier this week, TriHealth EMS and TriHealth Heart & Vascular Institute hosted an LVAD educational dinner, where Drs. Kathryn O'Keefe and Omar Jawaid spoke and provided demonstrations, even offering the opportunity to get hands on with actual LVAD hardware and ask questions. LVAD stands for Left Ventricular Assist Device, which is a mechanical pump that helps the left ventricle pump blood more effectively through the body. Thank you to both Drs. O'Keefe and Jawaid for their expertise on LVAD, as well as TriHealth EMS for coordinating educational opportunities for first responders, helping them expand their tools for care!
