Dameron Hospital | Health Outlook | Winter 2019

This supports our ability to deliver the same, high level of patient care in cardiac surgery here at Dameron that they achieve at Stanford’s main hospital in Palo Alto. We’ve also sent members of our operating room and ICU teams over to Stanford to review how they organize their cardiac program to aid us in adopting some of their systems and processes for our program here at Dameron. “My goal as a surgeon is to provide my patients with the best possible outcomes using the most advanced medical techniques available,” Dr. Currie says. “And I believe that the cardiac surgery program at Dameron aligns perfectly with this objective.” STANFORD Cardiac Surgery Program at Dameron Hospital 530 W.
