When the hospital was overcome with COVID patients, AVMC met the community\u2019s need with an outdoor field hospital, allowing AVMC to treat hundreds more patients.<\/p>\n<p>During that same period, AVMC added medical services that included two new heart procedures, a bariatric program, and a thrombectomy procedure that can save the lives of stroke patients. AVMC also brought the Antelope Valley Outpatient Imaging Center (AVOIC) under its management to offer a broader line of outpatient radiology services. There are also plans for a new Behavioral Health and Rehabilitation Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe important role AVMC has in the community is not taken lightly, and the hospital takes on that responsibility with compassionate, high quality care and a strong commitment to the people of the Antelope Valley,\u201d Mirzabegian said. \u201cOur goal is to continue growing programs available to AV residents, so they don\u2019t have to drive 50 miles for health care services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the services and programs offered by Antelope Valley Medical Center, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avmc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.avmc.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h6><em>[Information via news release from Antelope Valley Medical Center.]<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LANCASTER &#8211; Antelope Valley Medical Center was recently nominated for a Los Angeles Business Journal 2022 Health Care Leadership Award, in the category of &#8220;Top Hospital\/Medical Center,&#8221; officials announced.
