St. John Providence Health System is nation-
ally recognized as a leader in heart and vascu- lar care. Led by some of the country’s most re- spected and skilled cardiovascular physicians, nurses, clinicians and researchers, we provide cardiovascular care that is unmatched. A few recent headlines about our Cardiac Center of Excellence making news include:
‘Cardiovascular Hybrid Surgical Laboratory at St. John Hospital’
Gretchen Valade has made another gener-
ous donation to St. John Hospital and Medical Center. Mrs. Valade has contributed $3 million for the creation of a fully equipped Cardiovas- cular Hybrid Surgical Laboratory at St. John Hospital and Medical Center. The Valade name also adorns the Healing Arts Center in the Van Elslander Cancer Center at SJH&MC.
As the anchor of a new $5 million Minimally
Invasive Structural Heart Program at SJH&MC, the laboratory will be used to perform the most advanced non-surgical and minimally invasive surgical cardiovascular procedures. These pro- cedures include small incision, minimally inva- sive aortic valve replacement surgery and per- cutaneous mitral valve repair and percutaneous aortic valve replacement. The percutaneous procedures are similar to balloon angioplasty, where a catheter is guided into the area being treated via a small incision in the groin, elimi- nating the need for an incision in the chest.

“The State of Literacy In
America” (1998) National In- stitute for Literacy reports 38 percent of adults who live in Inkster are functionally illiter- ate, compared to 17 percent in Dearborn Heights, an adjacent community. This is especially significant because approxi- mately 14 percent of Dearborn
