St. Joseph’s Hospital: “Congressman Williams On Road To Recovery” Following Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery

Syracuse, NY — Today, Congressman Brandon Williams (NY-22), underwent a minimally invasive cardiac surgery and is in post-op care at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Syracuse, NY:

“Congressman Brandon Williams was transferred to the St. Joseph’s Health Cardiovascular Institute yesterday for a cardiac procedure after an examination at Crouse Health. This morning, our talented team of surgeons, nurses, and support staff performed a robotic heart bypass procedure, and we are pleased to say that it went exceptionally well. Congressman Williams is now on the road to recovery in large part because of the minimally invasive treatment methods used by the cardiac surgeons at St. Joseph’s which allow for faster healing, less pain and less scarring,” Meredith Price, Senior Vice President of Acute Operations, St. Joseph’s Health. “The cardiovascular care team at St. Joseph’s Health performs more cardiac procedures than any other hospital in the region which consistently results in better outcomes for our patients. We are proud that Congressman Williams and the greater Central New York community rely on our expert surgeons to provide them with a higher level of care. In the coming days Rep. Williams’ team will be communicating further details.

Our mission is to always provide the best in patient care—exceeding the expectations of our patients and in promotion of community-wide health. This week our talented interventional cardiology team provided medical care to Congressman Brandon Williams, who is now on the road to recovery following procedures at Crouse and St. Joe’s,” Seth Kronenberg, President and CEO, Crouse Health President. “In the coming days Rep.
