FACE OF CARDIOLOGY CONWAY

DON STEELY, MD, INTERVENTIONAL CARDIOLOGIST

What is the key to your success?

I have been blessed to have a job that I love. There is nothing that I would rather do than practice interventional cardiology in Conway.

What is your mission?

To deliver the best possible emergency cardiac care to Conway Regional Medical Center patients, resulting in the fastest emergency care.

What are your goals for the next few years?

My goal is to continue to expand the cardiac program’s outreach into the community by continuing to grow our services, staff and physician team into communities such as Clinton, Dardanelle, Russellville and Greenbrier.

What is the most important thing you do for Arkansas?

I continue to work to expand our outstanding cardiac team at Conway Regional Medical Center. We have three other talented interventional cardiologists, Rimsha Hasan, MD; Yalcin Hacioglu, MD; and Ronak Soni, MD. This is the most caring and amazingly talented staff and team of doctors I have ever worked with.

Tell us more about yourself.

I serve the community in several ways. I’m the doctor on the sidelines for Greenbrier High School, and I’m part of the sports medicine team for the University of Central Arkansas and Hendrix College. I help teach the cardiac portion of the master’s level athletic training program at UCA. I am also part of the team that has helped integrate Pafford Emergency Medical Services into the Conway community.
