When heart surgery is necessary, recovery matters just as much as the procedure itself.�Heart surgery is never a small decision, and for many patients, the focus isn’t just on the surgery, but on healing and getting back to everyday moments with family, friends, and the life they love.

Chair of Surgery at Deborah Heart and Lung Center, Allen Cheng, MD, explains how minimally invasive heart surgery may offer an approach that supports less pain, fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, and a smoother recovery.

Understanding how different surgical options impact recovery can help patients have more informed conversations with their care team. Learn about the treatment options available to you. https://ow.ly/eiEy50Y5rTF

It can be hard to know what your body can handle when pulmonary hypertension enters your life. Geurys Rojas-Marte, MD, Medical Director of the Advanced Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension Programs at Deborah Heart and Lung Center, explains that when it’s detected early and carefully managed, patients can regain strength, understand their limits, and even enjoy activities they thought might be out of reach 🙏.

When Father Bruce Janiga was just 8 years old, he struggled to breathe. His family was searching for answers—and found them at Deborah.

He remembers the nurses who fussed over him, the comfort of having his mother nearby, and the care that stayed with him long after he healed. Decades later, that experience inspired a legacy of gratitude.

As a new year begins, we invite you to reflect on the legacy you hope to leave. With our trusted partner, FreeWill, you can create or update your will at no cost while helping ensure Deborah’s lifesaving mission continues for generations.

Congratulations to our January Stars of the Month! From left to right, meet: Rania Aboujaoude, MD, Medical Staff, Philip Villanueva, RN, Patient Care Services, and Gina Schlottke, RN, Cath Lab. Thank you all for your outstanding contributions and dedication to patient care.

A dedicated member of the Deborah team since October 2016, Dr. Aboujaoude exemplifies compassionate care. Her work to improve sepsis measurements has made a meaningful impact on quality and outcomes. Despite a demanding schedule, she remains flexible, professional, and deeply committed to every patient. Her expertise, empathy, and unwavering support make her an invaluable part of the Deborah team.

Philip joined Deborah in March 2024 as a PCT and became an RN in February 2025 through dedication and hard work. He has shown exceptional skill and the ability to remain calm under pressure. When a patient recently coded, Philip stepped in without hesitation, delivering excellent patient-centered care. His commitment and supportive presence make a lasting difference for patients and colleagues alike.

Since joining Deborah in February 2014, Gina has delivered exceptional care and leadership in the Cath Lab. She consistently goes above and beyond for patients while fostering a supportive, collaborative environment. During a recent power outage that delayed procedures, Gina ensured patients and families were comfortable, offering reassurance during a stressful time. She leads with empathy and dedication. Well done, Gina!
