The Goblin Gathering was a spook-tacular success! 🎃 This past weekend, we joined approximately 3,500 children and families at G.T. Bray Park for this community favorite event hosted by Manatee County, Florida Government.

Our staff had a blast teaching Hands-Only CPR, demonstrating chest compressions, handing out candy, and connecting with families throughout the day. 💚 Teaching lifesaving skills while letting the community know we’re here for them is a sweet treat. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. We had a fang-tastic time!

Strong partnerships lead to better patient care. 🤝 Manatee Memorial hosted its quarterly Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Review, bringing together local EMS partners from Manatee County Public Safety Department and hospital staff to discuss patient care, review processes, and share updates. During this time, we acknowledged several EMS crews with awards for their outstanding clinical judgment and actions in the field. 🚑 These recognitions highlight the important role EMS professionals play in identifying critical conditions early and help make sure patients receive the timely care they need.

A special thank you to our Emergency Department Manager Jill Brisson and Emergency Management Coordinator Clinton Faulkner for identifying these exceptional cases and helping recognize the crews behind them. We'd also like to thank Assistant Chief of Manatee County EMS Josh Hemmelman for joining us in recognizing these outstanding accomplishments and being part of this special moment.

Happy Emergency Nurses Week! 🚑 For many patients, a visit to the Emergency Department comes unexpectedly. It may be one of the most stressful, frightening, or uncertain moments in their lives. That's when our Emergency Nurses step in. 🩺

They are often among the first caregivers patients encounter when they arrive seeking urgent medical attention. They assess patients, provide critical care, coordinate treatment, and offer reassurance when it's needed most.

Every day, they care for patients facing a wide range of medical emergencies, illnesses, and injuries while helping families navigate difficult situations. It’s safe to say it takes a special kind of nurse to work in this demanding environment where no two days are the same.

We are proud to announce that Manatee Memorial Hospital is the first hospital in Southwest Florida to use the newly FDA-approved SELUTION SLR™ Drug-Eluting Balloon, providing patients with a new treatment option for coronary arteries that have again become narrowed inside a previously placed stent.

In-stent restenosis occurs when tissue grows inside a coronary stent and causes the artery to narrow, potentially restricting blood flow to the heart. During the procedure with SELUTION SLR, an interventional cardiologist guides a specialized balloon catheter to the narrowed area of the coronary artery. When the balloon is inflated, it delivers the medication sirolimus directly to the artery wall.

“Instead of automatically adding another layer of metal, we can use a balloon to deliver medication directly to the vessel wall and then remove the balloon. For appropriately selected patients, that can be a very attractive treatment strategy,” said Dr. James Nguyen, MD, FACC, FSCAI, Interventional Cardiologist at Manatee Memorial and the first to use this technology at the facility.

SELUTION SLR uses tiny drug-containing reservoirs incorporated into the balloon's coating. The technology is designed to provide a controlled, sustained release of sirolimus for up to 90 days.

Manatee Memorial's involvement with SELUTION technology also builds on the hospital's history of participating in cardiovascular device research. Interventional Cardiologist S. Jay Mathews, MD, MS, FACC, FSCAI, previously served as a co-principal investigator in a U.S. clinical study evaluating SELUTION SLR in patients with complex peripheral arterial disease. “This is an important moment for cardiovascular care because we're moving toward more individualized treatment strategies,” Dr. Mathews said. “The goal isn't necessarily to put more metal in an artery every time a problem occurs. Having technologies that allow us to deliver effective therapy while preserving future treatment options is an important advancement.”
