non said, "We are really
excited to have a student
represent our school

unique event. Trace will
get an incredible oppor-
tunity to travel the na-

some incredible musi-
cians. Congratulations
to him."

These roads
so both
** ways.
And we offer advanced heart
imaging technology at both ends.
At ETMC, we believe it's important to give you the highest possible level
of heart care, close to home. So we partner with leading cardiologists to
offer clinics in ETMC hospitals throughout East Texas. And we make
sure they have the tools and technologies they need at those locations.
Cardiologist Dr. Robert Camey knows the difference that can make:
"We have really great technical tools - advanced' sophisticated'
state-of-the-art imaging tools - to make diagnoses that heretofore have
been possible only in major hospitals, but they are available in the
smaller ETMC hospitals, and they're used by the cardiologists to optimize
the patients' care."
Investing in imaging technology at multiple locations is a big financial
commitment. But it's just one part of an even bigger ETMC commitment:
Improving the quality of life in East Texas communities.
"I think the ETMC system has a great vision of how they want to deliver
care. They're really committed to improving the local quality of care for
patients in their own communities."
