Proud of the efforts of our Springhill Heart Center Structural Heart team in reaching this milestone and in making a difference in the lives of patients with stroke risk associated with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AFib). We remain committed to bringing advanced cardiovascular care to the communities we serve.

We reached an incredible milestone as Dr. Wail Hashimi performed our 500th patient implant of the WATCHMAN FLX™ Pro Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Device!

As one of the only hospitals in Mobile, Alabama, to offer this latest LAAC technology, we’re proud to provide our patients with advanced options for managing stroke risk associated with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AFib).

Congratulations to Dr. Hashimi and our entire heart care team on this incredible achievement! Reaching 500 implants is a testament to our commitment to bringing advanced heart care and innovative treatment options to our community.
