HEART AND VASCULAR UNIT EXPANDED AND RENOVATED McLaren Flint’s Catheterization Laboratory Showcases Renovations and $1 Million Innovative System The Heart and Vascular Unit at McLaren Flint began the year celebrating the completion of its extensive expansion and renovation project. A need for additional catheterization labs and creating separate areas for pre- and post-procedure patients was driven by growth of both the hospital’s stroke and cardiac programs. The project updates include two new catheterization labs, a separate prep recovery area, all new flooring, paint and artwork from the north building to the south, and a shared waiting area for Heart and Vascular and Radiology services. New technology includes a $1 million investment in a MAC Lab System, which provides enhanced interoperability and has remote workstations for data management and documentation. The McLaren Flint MAC lab is the largest to be installed to-date in the United States.
