SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) – Dignity Health Mercy San Juan Medical Center is celebrating the grand opening of its newly renovated Neuro-Interventional Suite, a space designed to deliver faster, safer and more advanced stroke care.
The centerpiece of the upgrade is a new Canon biplane imaging system, which allows doctors to see detailed, real-time images of the brain and blood vessels from multiple angles helping them treat strokes and other complex conditions with greater precision.
Mercy San Juan is the third Comprehensive Stroke Center for Dignity Health in California and the first hospital in the Greater Sacramento Market to receive this designation from The Joint Commission. According to the commission, the Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification is the most demanding stroke certification and is designed for those hospitals that have specific abilities to receive and treat the most complex stroke cases.
The $12.9 million renovation also includes a new procedure room, monitoring area and updated staff spaces to support exceptional patient care and teamwork. With this investment, Mercy San Juan strengthens its position as the region’s leading hospital for advanced neurological care.
The grand opening was on Oct. 22.
Most of the patients served by the Neuro-Interventional Suite come from the greater Sacramento region, including Carmichael, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Orangevale, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, Elk Grove, West Sacramento and Roseville. The medical center is located at Mercy San Juan Medical Center, 6501 Coyle Ave., Carmichael.
