What a great way to spend the day! On Friday November 22nd, we had a great time connecting with teammates from across the system at #UNCHealth and meeting new colleagues from across the continuum of care at the 8th Annual Heart and Brain Connection! We had day filled with top notch education, delicious food, and fellowship with our peers. We would like to thank the 90+ attendees, as well as the planning committee and presenters for dedicating their time and talent to ensure a successful symposium. A special thank you goes out to Erin Lewis MSN, RN, CNRN who lead the planning committee ensuring that her vision for this symposium was realized. Together we are better.

A very good Monday morning to all from #UNCHealthRex! What better way to kickstart a new week than sharing exciting news from our #EPLab! Thanks to exciting technology and collaboration between disciplines, Dr. Sidharth Shah recently performed a concomitant #AFibAblation and #Watchman. What does this mean for our patients? The opportunity to have one hospitalization rather than two, decreased downtime away from work or enjoying leisure activities, less anesthesia, decreased radiation exposure, increased patient safety, and better outcomes. Congratulations to all for #leadingtheway in innovation and patient satisfaction, while maintaining safety as our top priority! #EPLab #watchman #afib #afibablation #collaboration #patientsfirst #safety #OneGreatTeam
