  • Unfortunately we see many cases like Sister Burns', said NSMC Chief of Cardiology David Roberts, M.D. "Symptoms can mask themselves as something minor that patients often ignore." By entering through a patient’s wrist instead of the groin area, the patient recovers faster, has less pain and there is a much smaller risk of bleeding and major complications,” said Dr. Roberts. After the procedure, a patient can stand immediately and may even go home that same day. Patients who undergo a radial artery catheterization require nothing more than a Band-Aid on their wrist. To keep Sister Burns’ heart strong and to help her recover, she has joined NSMC’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, which teaches cardiac patients about healthy eating, stress management and how to create and maintain an exercise program.

  • SALEM–Salem Hospital has received approval from the Department of Public Health to add 24 private patient rooms, netting the hospital an additional 13 medical-surgical beds, and improving the patient experience. Offering more private rooms is a significant improvement in our patients’ experience,” said David J. Roberts, MD, President of Salem Hospital. “The additional space enables us to admit patients more quickly from the emergency rooms and cuts down on wait times. It also enables us to convert our few remaining four-bed rooms into double rooms and provide more privacy for our patients and their visitors.” Data from Salem Hospital shows the length of stay for admitted patients has increased since the onset of the pandemic, suggesting that those requiring inpatient care are sicker than they were previously. Patients who deferred care, particularly preventative care, are arriving at the hospital with more serious illnesses and therefore are occupying beds longer.
