RUHS MEDICAL CENTER EXPANDS ACCESS TO ADVANCED CARE WITH NEW HEART, NEURO AND VASCULAR CATHETER LAB

MORENO VALLEY – Riverside University Health System Medical Center celebrated the opening of its new state-of the-art catheter lab recently in a move that hospital officials said will expandservices for heart and neurovascular patients in the region. “Our patients previously had to go to other hospitals for advanced procedures,” Dr. Rajogopal Krishnan, chief ofcardiology at RUHS Medical Center, said. “We are grateful to have the ability to offer a higher level of care to our patients and community. This is a dream come true for our patients and our team.” The fully integrated $4.3 million GE lab includes imaging equipment to visualize the heart and other cerebrovascular structures, and a special system to monitor blood flow throughout the body. Cath Lab Director Reuben Butler said the team that will be assisting doctors in the cath lab has combined experience of more than 50 years.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT STATION PROJECT PROFILES

Riverside County Fire Department enjoys a unique working relationship with the County’s Economic Development Agency (EDA). The EDA, as the building owner and project manager/lead administrator, works in close coordination with the Station Planning Bureau (SPB), as the end user representative.  Jointly, both ensure that:

(a) future stations are planned for with a comprehensive vision in mind and located in a manner to best achieve emergency response standards and serve the local community; and (b) are designed in a manner that maximizes operational, energy and cost efficiencies with design features reflective of the community’s history and aesthetics.  In a simple advisory capacity, SPB works with local partner cities/agencies for self-funded station projects to ensure those communities are able to achieve the same station quality and considerations and that RCFD staff is able to enjoy the same high facility standards that it does in other County stations. Station improvements underway include: 4th Street Fire Administration Project, Perris $5,336,789 Notice of Completion Valle Vista Station 72 Gates & Fencing Project $ 195,755 Design Phase Pedley Station 16 Gates & Fencing Project $ 191,840 Design Phase Winchester Station 34 Fence & Driveway Project $ 440,242 Design Phase Homeland Station 54 Gates, Fencing & Paving Project $ 337,924 Design/Construction Highgrove Station 19 Gates & Fencing Project $ 99,756 Construction Phase Lake Hills Station 82 Gates & Fencing Project $ 95,415 Construction Phase
