“Y’all quite literally saved my life.”
Those are words we will never take for granted…
We recently received this message from a patient who attended our cardiovascular screening in Bay Minette on April 29, 2026.
After receiving his screening results and speaking with our team, he followed up with his physician, who referred him to a cardiologist. Over the next several months, he underwent additional testing that ultimately led to a heart catheterization on September 28.
What they found was alarming.
One coronary artery was 100% blocked, and another was 85% blocked. His heart function was down to just 30%.
On October 7, he underwent double bypass surgery. After 3.5 days in the ICU, including riding out a hurricane at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, he was finally able to return home on October 12.
Following surgery, he reported that his heart function had improved to 70%.
He ended his message with something that means more to our team than he could ever know:
“I am profoundly grateful to what you did for me.”
This is why Coastal Wave Diagnostics exists. Behind every screening is a real person, a family, and a life worth protecting.
We are incredibly thankful he took that first step by coming to our screening in Bay Minette, and even more thankful that he’s home recovering today.
