ASHLAND — University Hospitals (UH) Samaritan Medical Center has achieved a Level II designation in their UH Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Additionally, cardiologist Luis Augusto Palma Dallan, MD has been promoted to medical director, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory, at UH Samaritan.

These procedures include left and right heart catheterization, coronary angiography, intra-aortic balloon pump and device implementation including, but not limited to, defibrillators.
