Supporting Advanced Lifesaving Care in Our Community
USA Health Providence Hospital’s newly launched ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) program is a game-changing advancement in life support technology. ECMO provides critical, life-saving support for patients facing severe heart and lung failure, giving them a second chance when all other options have been exhausted.
What is ECMO?
ECMO is an advanced system that temporarily takes over heart and lung function, ensuring that oxygen reaches vital organs. It is used for patients recovering from heart attacks, pneumonia, sepsis, pulmonary embolism, anaphylaxis, respiratory failure, trauma, influenza, and so much more. This technology is often the bridge to recovery, transplantation, or other medical interventions.
Why It Matters
The ECMO program at Providence Hospital ensures local access to this life-saving technology, reducing wait times and improving survival rates for the most critically ill patients in our community.
Building a Strong Foundation for Care
Creating a top-tier ECMO program requires highly trained medical teams, specialized equipment, and a well-coordinated system. Our dedicated team is working tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of this program—from expert physicians to state-of-the-art technology—continues to serve our community with excellence.
