torrancememorial.org PULSE | 3 M A G A Z I N E DEAR READERS, At the heart of what Torrance Memorial Medical Center offers our community is a dedication to providing superb care in a caring manner. We pride ourselves on offering the latest procedures performed by the best in the field. In this issue of Pulse, you'll learn about some of these highly complex procedures, specifically focused on the heart. Many are non- surgical and non-invasive alternatives—critical for those who cannot have surgery. Patients speak about getting "to start all over again," and receiving "a second chance on life." All of us at Torrance Memorial are proud when we hear this kind of testimony. We are recognized for clinical excellence in heart care, but are most humbled by the gratitude we receive from patients for changing their lives. We hope you enjoy this issue.
