Pasco could ground advertising signs

By Michael Hinman mhinman@lakerlutznews.com

More than a decade after she led a crusade to lower new business advertising signs in Pasco County, Kathryn Starkey is gearing up to bring the “grandfathered” ones up to code. The county commissioner says it’s time her colleagues start looking into enforcing the sign laws — which typically limit sign height at 11 feet — uniformly across Pasco, including those signs that pre-date the 2003 changes to the ordinance. Starkey, however, says she won’t push it without trying to find at least some help for business owners, who would have to invest in new signs. “One of the biggest complaints I get is the old signs that are still up, so we got to

figure out a way to help those businesses bring those signs to our new look,” Starkey said.“It’s difficult. It’s a financial investment, but I think we should incentivize them to bring them up to the current code.” How to incentivize those businesses is still a big question mark, but one possibility could be offering small grants or even lowinterest microloans to help defray the costs, Starkey said. Businesses with grandfathered signs have been allowed to keep them as long as they are not changed in a way that would make them become “more non-conforming” to the ordinance. After 11 years, some of those signs are starting to show their age, and are looking more and more out of place in areas See SIGNS, page 12

It’s usually Golden Arches in the sky when there’s a McDonald’s around. But the newest McDonald’s at 1733 Bruce B. Downs Boulevard in Wesley Chapel has a sign at ground level, thanks to a Pasco County ordinance, and the early efforts of Pasco County Commissioner Kathryn Starkey.

Local woman revels in Boston Marathon run By B.C. Manion bcmanion@lakerlutznews.com

Trish Trout can scratch an item off her bucket list. The Wesley Chapel woman completed the 118th Boston Marathon on April 21, finishing the 26.2-mile course in 6 hours and 14 minutes. It was a day that she’ll never forget. “I was in the center of the Boston Marathon,”Trout said.“You’re a rock star for a day. It’s like everybody’s your best friend.” It came a year after bombings rocked the event, and security was tight, Trout said. Military police, Boston police and other law enforcement officers were stationed about every 150 yards along the route. Helicopters hovered over the crowds. Armored trucks blocked roads. Bomb-sniffing dogs walked through the crowds,Trout added. “My cheering section could not get to the finish line because it was lockdown. Even VIP ticket holders were kept out,” she said.

Eat, drink and help charity with wine walk By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

Next Wednesday, patrons at The Shops at Wiregrass will drink wine, sample food, listen to live music, and do a little shopping. And they’ll help a charity at the same time. Wine Walk Wednesdays, a series of four events scheduled for this year, continues on May 7 at the shopping center, 28211 Paseo Drive in Wesley Chapel.The annual charity series benefits the Jason Ackerman Foundation, an organization that provides educational opportunities and entertainment experiences for young people who have endured various types of tragic circumstances. They provide scholarship funds directly to four-year universities, community colleges and vocational training schools to benefit re-

looking for a fun destination, said Shops marketing director Debbie Detweiler. “It’s a great thing not only for ‘girls night out,’ but also for couples as well,” she said. “And there are families who come out and they’re enjoying the entertainment and activities. It’s really casual and just a fun night, and it’s all for a great cause.” Those who want to eat and drink will receive “passports” and a map, showing them the location of each tasting station. In addition to sampling wine and food, visitors can enjoy live music on two stages, mini-massages and models showing off the latest fashions. There also will be caricature artists and free painting classes available. While Wine Walk Wednesdays has been happening for a few years, the format See WINE, page 12

Drumm takes final stand as Zephyrhills city manager By Michael Hinman mhinman@lakerlutznews.com

Jim Drumm likely saw the first cracks in his tenure as Zephyrhills city manager last July when councilmen Lance Smith and Ken Burgess both gave him low marks on their evaluations of his job performance. Drumm had communications issues, according to the evaluations, especially when it came to city employees and the public as a whole. He wasn’t getting out to meet enough people.The city’s relationship with Pasco County was troubled, at best. Yet Drumm wasn’t worried about his job.While he knew there was room for improvement in his own job performance, he received high marks from the three other council members. And as far as Drumm was concerned, there were nowhere near the four votes required to remove him, if that’s what Smith and Burgess were aiming for. That all changed, however, in March, when Drumm found himself fighting for his job — the voices of two councilmen suddenly gaining the power of the majority. Despite three legal opinions against him, Drumm maintains his position that no matter what his contract says, the city’s charter — the constitution of the local government — requires four votes to remove him. The security of that belief encouraged Drumm to move his family to Zephyrhills in the first place, where he spent $185,000 on a home in Silver Oaks.That was despite still owning a house he bought for $135,000 at the height of the housing boom in 2005 in his former town of High Springs. “I came here with a commitment,” Drumm told reporters after a special council meeting last week. “I wanted to do a good job, and apparently I did.The issues are not very clear, and I’m just surprised. What I’m getting is,‘We don’t want to terminate you.We just don’t want to renew you.’”

Compton said. “When the city manager walked in here, he walked into a million-dollar shortfall in the budget, and within a matter of months, he turned it into a surplus.” The city at the time was looking at layoffs to make up the budget shortfall in 2011, but instead Drumm filled the city’s contingency funds, not to the $300,000 or $500,000 it once contained, but instead to $1.5 million — and kept it there. “This is a separation, and it’s not a happy thing,” Compton said. “Something didn’t work out, but my suggestion is the numbers be looked at.” MICHAEL HINMAN/STAFF PHOTO Alan Knight, the forZephyrhills city manager Jim Drumm goes over some lastmer high school football minute details with city finance director Stacie Poppell ahead of coach and educator a special city council meeting last week. who beat Wilkeson for his council seat, wasn’t During that same meeting, called to ne- focused on numbers.

severance last week, offering just 13 instead. Yet, 20 weeks is a standard for city and county managers, the maximum set by state law, said Lynn Tipton, executive director of the Florida City and County Management Association, the state’s professional organization for municipal managers like Drumm. “It is recommended in light of the many costs a manager incurs in transition,” she said. In best-case scenarios, the hiring process for a city manager from the time an ad is placed for the job to signing the contract is four months. But that can sometimes go six months or even longer. “However, this is greatly complicated by election cycles,” Tipton said, adding that some municipalities might just hire an interim until after the next election. Drumm said he would likely seek unemployment insurance, but $275 a week is a far cry from $1,730 weekly. But he could have other income opportunities as well while he waits to find a new city manager job. “Some managers are fortunate to find interim work, teaching and consulting while they await the next management position,” Tipton said. “Others take part-time work where available.” The severance package proposed by the council last week would cost the city $54,000, but only a portion of that would actually represent cash in Drumm’s pocket. The rest are taxes and other costs the city would have to pay to part ways with him. Drumm was expected to step down from his position April 25 if he agreed to the lower separation terms offered by the city. He resigned on Friday, after reportedly agreeing to the severance package. The council approved the revised severance package 4-1, with Compton voting no. Just before the vote, Drumm did suggest that the lower payout may not be enough of an incentive for him to sign any agreement not to sue the city over the debacle, but the council voted their package in anyway.

There have been so many changes in how dentistry is practiced since we opened our dental office 25 years ago in Land O’ Lakes. We want to use this dedicated space in The Laker and Lutz News to answer questions we are frequently asked and to share with you information about new innovations that make dentistry pain free and affordable.

Q A Studies of whitening products from a reputable source such as your dentist are safe and can be very effective if used as directed. True bleaching Do teeth whiteners damage tooth enamel?

COURTESY OF JOE ABELN

Canopy piloting, more commonly known as ‘swooping,’ forces skydivers to pick up speed as they approach the ground, rather than slow down. Then they have to navigate obstacles, typically over lakes and ponds since water is more forgiving in high-speed impacts than the hard ground.

agents have hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as the active ingredient and have shown little effect on hardness or mineral content of a tooth’s enamel surface. Because it is possible to over bleach your teeth, you should always be monitored by your dentist while using these products. Our next Dental Bites will talk about the difference between “whitening” and true “bleaching” agents, there is a significant difference.

New skydiving sport swoops into Zephyrhills with nationals By Michael Hinman mhinman@lakerlutznews.com

It’s quite easily one of the newest sports out there, and something many people have never heard of. For the second straight year, Skydive City in Zephyrhills will host the U.S. Parachute Association National Skydiving Championships of Canopy Piloting May 2224. And whenever drop zone owner T.K. Hayes shares that with someone outside of skydiving, he can almost anticipate that first question:What is canopy piloting? “It’s a fairly new sport that has come around in the last 10 to 12 years, and it’s grown into its own discipline of skydiving,” he said. Simply, skydivers jump from a plane that’s just 5,000 feet in the air (compared to the normal 12,000 feet for typical skydiving), and instead of slowing down before hitting the ground, these jumpers actually speed up — some as fast as 90 mph — swooping through a ground-level course that’s exciting for spectators, and dangerous for the jumpers. And Hayes knows all about that danger. He has a spinal fusion to prove it. “When we built the first swoop pond out here in 2000 or 2001, it wasn’t even a sport then,” Hayes said.“It was a windy day, and I got down too low and caught me knees in the water at 50 to 60 mph. I bounced out of the pond and landed on my head, breaking my neck.” Luckily Hayes wasn’t paralyzed, but his swooping days are over. Since then, canopy piloting has grown from a hobby to a highskilled sport where only divers with hundreds if not thousands of jumps to their name can even think about competing in. “There is definitely a lot less margin for error, so people who are competing in this event are extremely experienced and have trained specifically for this,” said Nancy Koreen, director of sport promotion for the U.S. Parachute Association, based in Fredericksburg,Va. Last year’s national champion, Curt Bartholomew, has been in town already getting set for the national meet. And even

someone at his skill level has to work through bumps and bruises. “He was wearing a knee brace and an ankle brace, and was using ice packs between jumps,” Hayes said.“They are true athletes, and they go through a regimen of training and physical fitness, because you really have to be at the top of your game to compete.” Zephyrhills has successfully bid for the event the last two years, and the warm reception of the near 70 jumpers last year, along with a solid drop zone complete with a pond, has made Skydive City a premier place for the event. But getting spectators to come out, however, has not been so easy, and Hayes has made some changes for this year’s championship. “We didn’t get the word out much last year, and it’s happening during the week, so I know that might affect those numbers even more,” Hayes said.“We didn’t have a budget last year, but we were able to get a small one this year. So we’ll have new features, like a color commentator on a sound system, to let people know what’s happening.” Canopy piloting, Hayes said, is probably the closest skydiving will ever get to a spectator sport. And it’s helped Zephyrhills not only reach the national stage, but the global one. Skydive City will be the site of the world championships of canopy piloting in November — the first time the United States has ever hosted it — and that could draw more than 120 jumpers and their entourages from all over the planet. “We’re becoming experts in hosting these things, and I hope we can build a market for canopy piloting right here,” Hayes said.“It’s just a cool thing, which you don’t even realize until you come out and see it for yourself.”

Pasco County’s Parks and Recreation department is developing its new master plan, and it wants the public’s help. The division is hosting community meetings to gather as much input as it can to consider the county’s existing parks and recreation master plan, and make changes for the future. The plan covers the county’s parks, trails, open space and recreational programs. It also considers parks and recreation programs provided by cities and prominent nonprofit groups, such as the YMCA, said Rick Buckman, the county’s Parks and Recreation director. As the county moves forward in its planning, it will continue to collect information about existing conditions, population changes, trends, current and desired levels of service, maintenance, programming standards, and other issues. The goal is to produce a plan that will help determine the future role of the county’s parks and recreation services, to assess how trends affect the services it provides, and to consider how other private and public parks and recreation services fit into the picture, Buckman said. For instance, the county needs to consider how parks and recreation affects the county’s quality of life, and to consider how that role will be carried out as redevelopment and future development occurs, he said. The master plan also will consider all of the potential ways to achieve the level of service residents and leaders within the county want, Buckman said. That includes considering various funding mechanisms and partnerships. Parks and recreational services offer many benefits, even to people who never

set foot on a park property, Buckman said. For instance, nearby businesses can benefit from families coming and going to parks for ball games. Property values also can increase when people live near an amenity such as a large regional park or walking trails. The county also is interested in hearing from young people. Buckman said his department wants to know what kinds of facilities and activities appeal to the younger set. To help encourage public participation, the department has set up three public forums to solicit input. Each meeting will include a review of scope of the master planning efforts, a visioning exercise, and a discussion of priority needs and gaps. The county wants to include everyone in this process, Buckman said. It’s not just seeking people who are advocates of parks and recreation.

I finally picked up the phone and called instead of just reading about Samantha’s program. Most of the clients that start our program, have realized that they just are not losing weight on their own. For whatever reason they feel stuck, they aren’t motivated to stay on track with eating healthy or exercising on a regular basis and each month they find that they have either stayed the same or worse, gained more weight! It’s when they finally come to the realization that, “I know I can’t do this on my own, I need someone to help me.” That is when they call us. It’s okay. Just pick up the phone and call… that is why we are here!

She’s a laidback kind of gal who gets along with other cats, but still likes having her own space. She’s not much for playing, but does love some petting.

MARATHON, from page 1 Despite the heavy security, the atmosphere was festive. “It was a beautiful day. The energy was unreal,�Trout said.“At times, it was breathtaking, just seeing all of those people in support, and all of the runners. All ages, all shapes and sizes. It was awesome.� Spectators lined the course, cheering on runners. People grilled on barbecues at nearby marathon parties. Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline� blasted, as Trout made her way through Natick, a town on the route. Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing� filled the air as she ran through the suburb of Newton. All along the way, Trout high-fived little kids. Her name was printed on the front of her shirt, and as she ran past, spectators offered encouragement. “When I would hear my name — and I heard it a lot — I would give a thumbs up,� Trout said. She was delighted to see her former colleague Steve Twitty, who came with his wife, to watch her run.They made a sign to cheer her on. Her running partner, Jacqueline Pastika of Land O’ Lakes, was not able to come, so she sent a life-size cardboard cutout that Trout’s kids, Alexa and Adam, lugged around from place to place to offer Trout moral support. “Runners along the course also encouraged each other. Literally everyone was there to finish, and we all helped each other cross the finish line,� she said. The crowds, the signs and the flags people waved along the course inspired Trout. “There were only a few quiet areas along Jacqueline Pastika, who was Trish Trout’s running partner as she trained to run in the Boston Marathon, couldn’t make it to the event. So she sent a cardboard cutout to offer Trout moral support along the route.

SIGNS, from page 1

Still raising funds Trish Trout took part in the 118th Boston Marathon on April 21 as a member of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge. The DanaFarber Cancer Institute in Boston provides cancer treatment for adults and children. Trout pledged to raise at least $9,650 for Dana-Farber. The race is over, but she’s still collecting funds for the cause. So far, she has raised $11,600. If she hits her goal of $13,100, she will shave her head as a sign of solidarity for people suffering from cancer, who don’t think they have anyone who cares. Fundraising closes on May 21. Those wishing to make a donation can visit RunDFMC.org/2014/trish.

the course, and that’s when I tried to regroup and clear my mind,�Trout said. Trout had a hip injury shortly before the marathon.While her hip didn’t bother her, she had some foot problems. So, she ran when she could, but also walked for three miles. “I wanted to run smart.Also, I wanted to take everything in,�Trout said.“I wanted to be able to remember it. It was a huge deal.� As she made her way through the course, she drank water and Gatorade at stations along the way. “And, probably from Mile 15 to 21, people along the route would have orange wedges, pretzels,Twizzlers, Gummy Bears, anything to keep you going. I took it all in,� Trout said. “Right before I made the final turn onto Boylston Street, I heard someone in the crowd yell to me ‘Trish, you’re going to be a Boston Marathon finisher.’� That was nearly the same thing Trout’s daughter told her before she went to the hotel. “She told me,‘The next time I hug you, you will be a Boston Marathon finisher.’ Each time I heard it, I cried,� Trout said. “I knew going into it that I was going to start and I was going to finish. Nothing was going to stop me. I didn’t have to roll. I didn’t have to crawl.� Instead, she was running at a slow jog when she hit the finish line. Before she injured herself, Trout had hoped to complete the race in five-and-ahalf hours. She gave herself another hour after her injury. She beat that goal by16 minutes, and she made memories for a lifetime.

where ground-level, or monument, signs have become the norm. Starkey’s original goal was to prevent the growing Wesley Chapel area from becoming what U.S. 19 is on the western side of the county. Because of Wesley Chapel’s proximity to Interstate 75, early signs would create what Starkey called “circuses in the sky,� to be visible to interstate travelers still a couple miles away. Instead, Starkey — through her activist group Scenic Pasco — influenced the way the county looked at both business signs and billboards, all before she first sought elected office. That work brought Wesley Chapel more in-line with the standards of neighboring New Tampa, and prevented some roads like State Road 54 and Bruce B. Downs Boulevard from being littered with high road advertising signs, each one trying to outdo its neighbors. Fortunately, a good portion of Wesley Chapel was developed after the ordinance went into effect, so many of the problems involving grandfathered signs are not pres-

WINE, from page 1 changed for 2014. Instead of having it on four consecutive Wednesdays in one month each year,The Shops decided to host it on the first Wednesday in four different months:April, May, September and October. Detweiler admitted that she wasn’t sure how the new format would be received, and was a little nervous before last month’s event. But when she saw people lining up for their passports, she knew it was going to be a success. Judging by the final numbers, the change was a good one:April’s Wine Walk Wednesday attracted 560 participants and raised about $8,400 for the charity, making it the biggest opening of any year so far. While the first event is normally a bit slower, the strong start in 2014 allowed them to pace well ahead of their annual goal of $20,000. The event is a true collaborative effort, Detweiler said, with several sponsors donating wine, food and many activities so the community can come together and support a good cause.

“It’s all of us working together, we’re going to be able to put a lot of scholarship dollars in the hands of these students,� she said.“We’re doing a lot of good for the community.� The Jason Ackerman Foundation also takes an active role in the event, providing volunteers and helping put it together. “They’re just a great organization and have a strong source of volunteers who are committed to the cause,� Detweiler said. “They’ve been a great partner for us the last three years and we’re really excited too work with them again this year.� Wine Walk Wednesday runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.The event is free, but participating in the wine and food tasting has a donation request of $15, of which 100 percent goes to the charity.

ent in Wesley Chapel. But as Starkey heads west, first through Land O’ Lakes, and then toward U.S. 19 — with the new development of Trinity one of the lone exceptions — she gradually finds signs creeping higher and higher, and it’s something she wants to finally get fixed. “In September, we’re having our first community meeting about redevelopment, and I think we’ll start exploring the ideas of how we can help people not only deal with their signs, but maybe help them to figure out how to improve their landscaping and even the architecture in their buildings,� Starkey said. The change in business signs and billboards helped not only Pasco to grow, but property values as well, she said. “I’m very glad that we had a county commission at the time that was willing to take the political hit from some who didn’t want to change the way they were doing business,� Starkey said. “But it’s made such a difference.We have to have ordinances like this because it really does affect our quality of life, and how other people see us. Otherwise, what it says to me is that we don’t care about how we look.�

Shelter dogs are desperately seeking adoptive, foster homes The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

Pasco County Animal Services say their shelter is now bursting at the seams with adoptable dogs, and they need some caring individuals and families to help find them a home. “The shelter is currently over capacity for dogs, and we need help right now,” said Mike Shumate, the county’s animal services manager, in a release. The dogs, he said, have been spayed or neutered, micro chipped, and have all their vaccinations. The shelter is looking both for adoptive families and foster homes for dogs.Although not as widely known as adopting, fostering can help save the lives of two animals —

the one with the temporary home, and the new dog that would take his place at the shelter. The county continues to work toward saving 90 percent of its population, a far cry from the 46 percent euthanizing rate in 2012 before the program was implemented. Since the program started, more than 2,300 animals have been saved from being put down, county officials said. The adoption center is located at 19640 Dogpatch Lane in Land O’ Lakes. It is open from noon to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and on Thursday from noon until 6:30 p.m. For information, visit online at PascoCountyFl.net/PAS, or call (813) 9291212.

AAA offers safe trips home for impaired prom teens The Laker/Lutz News Staff Report

It’s a shocking yet humbling statistic, but 41 percent of teenagers say they plan to drink or take drugs sometime during the prom or graduation season. A recent AAA survey of high school students between the ages of 16 and 19 in four states, including Florida, also revealed a more startling fact: Some 84 percent of teens say that if they are under the influence, they would rather get behind the wheel than call their parents for help. The main reason? Because they fear getting in trouble with

their parents for drinking underage. More than 80 percent also fear being in a crash that injures or kills themselves or someone else, while another 69 percent are afraid of going to jail. “More than 30 percent of all motor vehicle traffic fatalities in the United States results from alcohol-impaired driving crashes,” said Michele Harris, director of AAA Traffic Safety Culture of The Auto Club Group, in a release.“We need real solutions to end these needless tragedies.” The survey was conducted in Florida, Georgia,Tennessee and Wisconsin as part of

Ready for the ring: Amateurs prepare for May 3 event By Michael Murillo mmurillo@lakerlutznews.com

On a weekend evening, hundreds of people gather for fight night. They cheer for two boxers, who punch, jab and defend their way through round after round in the ring. In the end one emerges victorious, sometimes by knockout and other times after the judges reveal their scoring. Records improve or fall, momentum will be gained or lost, and fans applaud the winner and await the next two competitors. That scene occurs at boxing events all over the country, as professional and amateur fighters compete in front of fans for a shot at advancing their career. It could be in New York, or Las Vegas, or Atlantic City. It also happens in Wesley Chapel. The American Olympic League hosts regular boxing events at its home, 5807 Ellerbee Road in Wesley Chapel.The organization trains athletes and has classes in disciplines such as boxing, wrestling, judo, jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai. But their regular fight nights draw hundreds, and the next event on May 3 will feature several amateur boxers of all age ranges who are ready to show off their skills in the ring. “It’s amazing the talent that you can find, you see these kids have ambition and you see it carry through with their skill level,” said Carlos Valle, who serves as general manager and promoter. The boxing events normally feature between 17 and 20 fights, with competitors usually ranging from 7-year-olds to teenagers. Some adult amateurs also compete, but the event is mostly for younger fighters who will eventually turn pro. All fights are sanctioned by USA Boxing, so the format, protective gear, officials and judges all meet the standards required for a bout that counts toward a fighter’s record.

But Valle explained that American Olympic League isn’t about just selling tickets to events or having classes. They also sponsor Sports League of Wesley Chapel, a non-profit where Valle also is active.The two organizations work together to help area underprivileged kids learn a new skill and stay focused on their schoolwork. “They really can’t afford to train, the uniforms, the gloves, the headgear. It gets

expensive,” Valle explained. “So we pick them up from school, we bring them here and we help them with homework.We have a tutor here who helps them, and when they’re done with homework, then they come here and box.” In addition to those participants, the events draw other groups and fighters who are interested in adding to their record.And even the younger fighters can

run up significant stats. “I was impressed when I saw some of the kids, 8-year-olds with 45 to 50 fights, because they’re competing every month and sometimes twice a month,”Valle said. The boxing event also is a chance for less-experienced fighters to start their path into the ring. Benjamin Vazquez, a 15-yearold freshman at Wesley Chapel High School, will be on the card May 3, marking his first amateur fight after months of preparation. “I’m ready for it. I feel confident,”Vazquez said during a training session. His confidence stems from his previous experience competing in karate, and also a strict regimen where he trains every day after school. Shadow boxing in the ring, instruction and more boxing with a trainer who wears pads and timed work on a punching bag, are part of his daily routine. Vazquez is ready for his match against a to-be-named opponent, and said that his training has required a lot of hard work. “The conditioning is intense.There’s a lot of stamina, running. It’s not easy,” he said. While his fight will be a one-on-one battle with his opponent, Vazquez won’t be alone that night. His mother, Maribel, will be one of around a dozen friends and family who will be there cheering him on and watching him compete. “I can’t wait,” she said. “He’s going to have uncles, sister, brothers, friends” at the fight. Maribel grew up watching boxing, and won’t hide her eyes while her son competes. She wants to watch the entire fight, and believes his hard work has prepared him well for his first boxing match. “He trains very hard, and he has a good coach,” she said. “I have confidence in my son.” The event begins at 6 p.m., with doors opening at 5 p.m.The cost is $15. For information, call (813) 284-8888.

A New Minimally Invasive Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib) is the most common heart rhythm problem. Yet, most treatments have been ineffective, and longterm medications often have side effects. Now, a new minimally invasive procedure offers new hope for A-Fib. There’s no open heart surgery, and it’s a quick, and simple option for the treatment of A-Fib. Our hospital is among only a few in the nation that offers this break-through procedure. If you have been diagnosed with A-Fib, we invite you to learn more how talented cardiovascular specialists on our medical staff can restore your heart’s rhythm without major surgery.
