Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital Raises Awareness About Signs of Mental Health Disorders. Did you know that Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial
Hospital is designated as a paramedic base station for L.A. County Paramedics and is L.A. County Emergency Department Approved for Pediatrics
(EDAP)? What's more, a cardiac cath lab equipped to perform emergency angioplasty, today's gold-standard therapy for heart attack, is also in
the works. Two labs are planned: one coming next spring for cardiac and peripheral vascular care, and another lab in 2009 that is totally
dedicated to cardiac care. Included in Henry Mayo's plans is the addition of a state-of-the-art 64-slice CT scanner, technology that gives
doctors a view of coronary arteries not previously possible.

that identify them as the parents of their infant. HMNMH offers moms options in the birthing experience and pain management, encourages family
