Bon Secours and VCU Health establish joint thoracic surgery practice
Table of Contents
Bon Secours and VCU Health have partnered to establish a thoracic surgery practice at Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital to provide high-quality, comprehensive thoracic surgery and care to the Richmond metro area and beyond.
Thoracic surgeons perform surgery for conditions and diseases that affect the lungs or chest, such as lung cancer, lung tumors and emphysema, and perform chest reconstruction surgery after major trauma. They also provide care to patients with esophageal cancer and patients with pleural diseases, which stem from air and fluid being in the wrong places in the lung. The clinic treats a full spectrum of illnesses, from benign to malignant diseases of the chest cavity, and has begun to see patients for elective surgeries and office visits.
The practice is under the leadership of Anthony Cassano, M.D., chair of the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at VCU Health, as well as Robert Ferguson, M.D.; Rachit Shah, M.D.; and Patricia Nicolato, D.O. They are joined by Jane Maiden, F.N.P., nurse practitioner of thoracic surgery at Bon Secours.
The Bon Secours – VCU Health Thoracic Surgery Associates clinic is located at Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital, 5875 Bremo Road, and can be reached at 287-7929.
