PRESS RELEASE
April 16, 2021
Hines , IL — Hines VA Hospital held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new 2,655 square-foot pacemaker clinic, April 16, 2021.
The facility is nearly twice the size of Hines’ former clinic and includes seven exam rooms and two EKG stations, which were previously located offsite.
According to staff, the increased space and new onsite medical services will improve patient care by decreasing wait times while allowing for more communication amongst caregivers.
“As the medical world progresses so too must our facility and services, so we can continue to offer the best care possible for our nation’s Veterans,” said James Doelling, Hines VA hospital director.
