Company Culture & Perks:

Fauquier Health’s cardiac catheterization lab performs a variety of diagnostic procedures that provide cardiologists with a detailed look at what is happening inside and outside the heart. Through the use of catheterization and X-ray technology, a catheter is placed in either the groin or wrist. The dye that is distributed through the catheter provides a moving synopsis of area of focus.

Fauquier Health’s Catheterization Lab offers diagnostic procedures such as:

• Left Heart Catheterizations – evaluates the heart pumping functions
• Right Heart Catheterizations – measures pressures and oxygen levels in the four heart chambers and arteries
• Pacemaker Implant – helps the patient’s heart beat at a more normalized pace
• Pericardiocentesis – removal of fluid buildup around heart
• Hemodynamics assessment – shows blood flow and oxygen levels in the heart

Fauquier Health's catheterization lab is capable of performing interventions such as stent placement and balloon angioplasty to open up blockages in the coronary arteries. Interventional procedures can be completed while the patient is conscious. Medication is given to promote relaxation but enables the patient to respond to questions and complete certain requests of movement to help with the imaging results.

History & Tradition

Fauquier Hospital initially opened its doors as a 20 bed hospital on February 26, 1925. Purchased for $14,000, Fauquier Hospital was occupied in the "Garner House" as it was known, and was located at 32 Waterloo St., Warrenton, VA. It wasn't until April of 1956 when hospital hill was chosen as the new location for the hospital.
