SURGEONS AT ASHTABULA COUNTY
Medical Center (ACMC) are assisted by
a team of skilled and compassionate
nurses. Each surgical team is trained
not only in the procedures to be
performed, but also to be prepared for
any complications that may arise during
the surgery.
They are also assisted by the best
technology.
ACMC recently invested nearly
$500,000 in new blood chemistry
analyzers. The new analyzers are used
to identify diseases and deficiencies
in a patient’s blood and are capable of
performing almost 100 different types
of tests. Those tests include: basic lipid
profiles, glucose, electrolytes, phosphorus,
Vitamin D, tumor markers, cancer
markers and autoimmune concerns. The
chemical analyzers at ACMC perform 1.2
million tests each year, with an efficacy
rate of 97 to 98 percent. The expertise
does not end when you leave the hospital.
Ashtabula Regional Home Health
nurses work in conjunction with ACMC
physicians and surgeons to ensure your
recovery is progressing as expected. This
extra level of care lessens the risk that
you might need to be readmitted to the
hospital.
Take the time to discuss surgical
options with your physician. And for the
most comprehensive surgical expertise in
our area, ask to be referred to a specialist
at ACMC.
It takes a team—and the right technology
