Congrats to Dr. Bajwa, Dr. Ayala, Dr. Martin, and their team on a successful first case! We're excited to have added another option for treatment for our patients.

A minimally invasive therapy for treating select patients with tricuspid valve regurgitation is now available at CHI Health Nebraska Heart!

The team completed its first procedure on Thursday, making it the first at the hospital and for all of CHI Health in Nebraska. Congratulations to the physicians and team who made this possible, ensuring our patients have access to the latest and greatest treatments!

We've added some great providers to our practice recently, so we're looking for a few more CMAs and LPNs to join our team in our Lincoln clinic! You can apply on Indeed, or you may send your resume to info@pioneerheart.com. We can't wait to meet you!

Our Lincoln office is open today! Call volume is high due to reschedules, and we're short some staff members today, so we appreciate your patience as it may take longer than normal to get calls returned. We'll get to them as quickly as we can!

Stay warm and safe! ❄️☃️
