Leadership Lufkin tours Memorial Medical Center-Lufkin

The 2011-12 class of Leadership Lufkin visited Memorial Medical Center-Lufkin Thursday, March 8 during the group’s annual Healthcare Day.

Following an informational breakfast presented by Administrative Director of Critical Care Stacy Garcia and Marketing Director Yana Ogletree, the group of 24 local businessmen and women toured the Lufkin facility. The tour included the Temple Imaging Center, the Progressive Care Unit and the Cath Lab, in which they suited up in full sterile suits to see where heart surgeries and other procedures take place in the area’s first dedicated heart and stroke care center. Memorial employees helped lead the tour in order to provide detailed information about different functions within the hospital, from radiology to intensive care.
