Piedmont Rockdale's Cath Lab has successfully performed its first CardioMEMS? procedure, bringing advanced heart failure care closer to home! This innovative device allows cardiologists to monitor heart failure patients remotely by tracking pulmonary artery pressure — a critical early indicator of worsening heart failure. Kudos to Dr. Rajeev Singh, Dr. Jayaraman Venkatesan, Kelly Fairbrass, NP, and the amazing PRH Cath Lab team for making this possible! Piedmont Rockdale is now the 9th CardioMEMS? center in the Piedmont system, expanding access to life-changing technology for the Rockdale community.

The Hope Center at Piedmont Cartersville has marked a significant milestone—20 years of making a positive difference in the lives of those battling cancer.

Here's to the countless lives changed, the strength of our patients, and the unwavering dedication of our team!

The Piedmont Community is greatly saddened by the passing of Bernie Marcus, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family during this difficult time. Bernie’s visionary philanthropy, and that of The Marcus Foundation, has played an integral role in transforming Piedmont into a destination for healthcare across the state of Georgia and beyond. ? When asked to comment on his gift to establish the Marcus Heart and Vascular Center in 2016, he said, “The new facility will enable Piedmont to achieve goals that would have only remained dreams. I look forward to the positive impact these changes will have on the future of health of this great community.” ? Years later, his vision has become reality, and patients across the state are able to receive innovative cardiac care at Piedmont because of this vision. Bernie will be missed, but we know that his legacy at Piedmont and across the Atlanta community will live on for generations to come.

Every Wednesday in October, Piedmont has proudly worn pink to empower breast cancer warriors and honor survivors during #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth! Did you know a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every 3 minutes in the US? And 80% of these women have no known risk factors other than being female and aging. Early detection matters—a mammogram can be our first line of defense. Visit piedmontmammo.org to learn more about mammograms and Breast Cancer Awareness. Together, we can make a positive difference!
