❤️ New at Tanner Heart Care! ❤️

Tanner Heart Care now offers transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) — a minimally-invasive heart valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis.

This procedure offers new hope for patients who may not be candidates for open-heart surgery.

Alongside this launch, we’re excited to open a new six-bed Cardiac Care Unit within the Cardiac Progressive Care Unit on the third floor of Adams Heart Center at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton, providing dedicated recovery space for structural heart patients after advanced procedures like TAVR.

Faster recovery, fewer risks, more time for life.

Another milestone for heart care! 🫀 🏆

September is AFib Awareness Month, and the team at the Adams Heart Center at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton performed its first atrial fibrillation (AFib) ablation earlier this month. Led by Paul Okhumale, MD, the team is bringing advanced rhythm care closer to home for residents of west Georgia and east Alabama.

Get the fast facts on AFib:
🫀 AFib is the most common heart rhythm disorder and can increase the risk of stroke.
🫀 Some people have no symptoms, while others feel a racing, fluttering or irregular heartbeat.
🫀 Symptoms may include palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath, chest discomfort and lightheadedness or dizziness.
🫀 Treatment is effective. Options include medications, lifestyle changes and procedures like catheter ablation that target the source of the irregular rhythm.

When to seek care?
📞 Call 911 right away for chest pain, fainting, severe shortness of breath or stroke warning signs, such as face droop, arm weakness or speech difficulty.
📅 Schedule a visit if you notice a new irregular heartbeat, unexplained fatigue or a racing heart, especially if you have risk factors like high blood pressure, sleep apnea, diabetes or a family history of these conditions.

Your heart matters. The team at Tanner Health is here to help it beat stronger each day.

In a vital step toward strengthening services and support for survivors of sexual assault, Tanner Health has just launched a dedicated Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) program at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton.

This important initiative reflects Tanner’s commitment to providing trauma-informed, victim-centered care — ensuring that no one in the aftermath of sexual violence faces recovery alone.

In Georgia, only six other hospitals offer SANE programs, despite the ongoing and urgent need for forensic care following sexual assault. With only a handful of hospital-based SANE programs across the state, this launch positions Tanner as a regional leader in forensic nursing and victim services.

📸 Pictured is the compassionate team behind Tanner Health’s SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) program — a group of highly trained professionals dedicated to supporting survivors with expert forensic care and emotional support.
