In this episode, meet the first patient to undergo open heart surgery at Clovis Community and hear from Dr. Shamsuddin Khwaja, medical director of cardiothoracic surgery with the Heart & Lung Institute to learn what this milestone surgery means for patients needing cardiac care in the Valley.

Plus, learn how Community Regional is helping students at Birney Elementary School in Fresno by providing resources and opportunities to succeed both in the classroom – and after they graduate. 

And we'll meet one nursing supervisor at Clovis Community to learn how she creates an environment of open communication, camaraderie and trust – and how that translates to better patient care for all those in her units.
