WINTER HAVEN HOSPITAL
Winter Haven Hospital s Bostick Structural Heart Team completed its first MitraClip procedure. The MitraClip repairs a condition called mitral regurgitation.

This approach helps patients avoid open-heart procedures, meaning they can recover and resume their normal lives sooner. Offering such services is a direct benefit of the expansion of Winter Haven Hospital s cardiac program, especially the addition of the hybrid catheterization lab.
