In December, a patient arrived at the UF Health Emergency and Urgent Care — Baymeadows clinic in the middle of the night after having a widowmaker heart attack with only a 10% survival rate. This type of heart attack occurs when there is blockage in the largest artery leading to the heart. Immediate treatment is needed for survival and thankfully Dr. Ryan Hebel and the quick-thinking staff of nurses and caregivers at Baymeadows were quick to respond when the nearby resident arrived to the clinic seeking care. Their quick actions led to fast treatment which ultimately saved his life.
