Quality Heart Care, Close to Home
In late 2023, Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital completed a total remodel and upgrade of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory (or Cath Lab). State-of-the-art imaging technology was incorporated to give our interventional cardiologists the clearest view possible inside a patient's circulatory system. We are proud to provide the highest level of interventional cardiology services in the region.
