‘UK at the Half’: Heart Care at UK HealthCare
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 21, 2022) – February is American Heart Month, a time to raise awareness for and focus on improving heart health.
In this “UK at the Half,” two UK HealthCare physicians discuss advances in heart treatment and how surgery can improve quality of life. Gbolahan Ogunbayo, M.D., is a UK interventional cardiologist who works at Frankfort Regional Medical Center. Tessa London-Bounds, M.D., is a cardiothoracic surgeon with the UK Gill Heart & Vascular Institute.
Patients facing heart and vascular conditions — whether congenital or developed over the years — have a team of cardiovascular experts on their side at UK Gill Heart & Vascular Institute. From stents to heart transplants and everything in between, the team at Gill provides the full scope of cardiovascular services.
“UK at the Half” airs during halftime of each UK football and basketball game broadcast on radio and is hosted by UK Public Relations and Marketing. To hear the “UK at the Half” interview, click on the play button above.
