❤️ Rural Ohio doctor joins global elite in heart care. Dr. Hafeez Hassan of Adena Heart and Vascular Institute has been named to the prestigious "30 in Their 30s" list by the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions. The interventional cardiologist brings advanced expertise to southern Ohio, having performed over 500 procedures annually since joining in 2021. Dr. Hassan established a critical pulmonary embolism program and specializes in high-risk interventions, allowing rural patients to receive top-tier cardiac care without traveling to major cities. His mission is deeply personal: "Every time I see a patient walk out of the hospital who might not have made it otherwise, it reaffirms why I chose this field."
