causing a patient’s distress and how we can best help. Our
clinical team will check to see if there are any underlying
medical or biochemical origins to these symptoms. The team will
then work with patients, their family and other health care
professionals to develop an appropriate course of treatment.

procedure for evaluating blood flow to the heart, and for determining
the condition of heart muscle, coronary arteries, and the valves
and chambers of the heart.
Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac Rehabilitation provides respiratory
care, ECG and cardiac rehabilitative services for patients who
have had a heart attack, valve replacement, stable angina,

Laproscopic Gastric Banding- Weight loss
Surgery
Laproscopic gastric banding is a is a minimally invasive
procedure designed to help obese patients feel full after eating
small portions of food. The procedure involves the placement of
a band around the upper portion of the stomach. The band is
connected to an access port placed beneath the skin of the
abdomen. This port enables the provider to adjust the band if
necessary, to meet the specific weight loss needs of the
patient. This type of bariatric surgery does not involve
stapling, cutting or intestinal rerouting, making it a safer
alternative to gastric bypass surgery. This procedure is limited
to patients that are severly/morbidly obese. For more
information, call 304-420-7155.

PET (Positron Emission Tomography)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a nuclear procedure that
produces pictures of the body’s biological functions. PET
is capable of detecting certain diseases before other imaging
modalities such as CT and MRI because PET is able to capture
chemical and physiological changes related to metabolism, as
opposed to gross anatomy and structure which is obtained by
CT and MRI. This is important since functional changes are often
present before structural changes in tissues. PET images may
therefore demonstrate pathological changes long before they
would be evident by CT or MRI.
Physical Therapy
Registered Physical Therapists provide therapeutic exercises
and other forms of physical rehabilitation in the CCMH Physical
Therapy Department. Along with modern equipment and treatment
techniques, the department conducts extensive patient education
as an integral part of patient rehabilitation and recovery.

flow to the heart before and during exercise. These tests show
how the heart functions when it has to work harder and requires
more oxygen.
Nuclear
Stress Testing
A stress test which includes the injection of a radioactive
material to enhance a higher quality of x-ray imaging.
Persantine/Cardiolyte Stress Testing
A medication is utilized to stimulate and exercise the heart
without actual exercise.

Women & Children Services
Maternity
Family-centered maternity care is the cornerstone of our
Maternity
Service Department. Our nurses know that support
and education
are the building blocks that help give children
the best possible
start. Babies may stay right in the same
room as the their mothers,
and fathers can spend as much time
there as they want,
participating fully in the baby's care.
Preparing for Parenthood,
CCMH offers a variety of classes to
help moms, dads, brothers and
sisters prepare for a new baby.
Family Centered Care (Pediatrics)
The
philosophy of Family Centered Care is the idea behind our
Pediatrics Department.
Since family closeness is especially important
in a child's
recovery, this department was designed to promote
family involvement.
Patient rooms are designed to be more
comfortable for parents
who wish to stay with the child round-the-
clock, with facilities
for sleeping and showering provided. Visiting
hours are flexible,
so that the child feels less isolated from the rest
of the family. Each
room is brightly decorated and equipped with
TV's, VCR's, video
games and free cable (including the Disney
Channel.) Four rooms
are equipped with stereos and headphones. A
play area

to determining the cause of a wound, identifying why the wound
is not healing properly and providing treatment and education
that will speed up the healing process. Staff works with the
patient and care giver to instruct them on how to care for the
wound at home and how to make lifestyle adjustments to help
the wound heal faster. Instruction includes changing bandages,
protecting wounds from injury and recognizing symptoms that
require immediate follow-up by the physician. Wounds can often
be related to other medical conditions such as diabetes and
vascular problems, it is important that patients continue to
see their regular physician while their wound is being cared
for at the center.
