THE Valley Hearts Associates Medical Team, led by Guamanian surgeon Dr. Noel Concepcion, returns to Guam today to provide diagnostic angiograms to patients here, the Guam Memorial Hospital announced.
The team will be on island until Jan. 27, and is expected to perform procedures on about 40 patients, according to Zennia Pecina, GMH assistant administrator for professional support services.
Patient referrals and the schedule for cardiac consultations will be processed by the GMH Special Services Department.
Concepcion, who left Guam in 1987 to open a private clinic in California, has come back to the island several times for GMH’s Heart Project.
During its last visit in September, the Valley Hearts Associates Medical Team performed about 20 cardio catheterizations and open-heart surgeries at GMH.
