City of Littleton and AdventHealth Littleton representatives pose with award

AdventHealth Littleton is proud to be the first recipient of the City of Littleton’s Cutting Edge Award for District III. The award celebrates organizations that exemplify innovation, creativity, and collaboration.

In its nomination, AdventHealth Littleton was highlighted for its pioneering approach to health care as seen in the Heart and Vascular Institute, which opened in August. The new facility provides patients with access to world-class treatments and includes cardiovascular operating rooms, electrophysiology labs, and a cardiovascular intensive care unit.

“We’re proud of being on the leading edge of technology through the groundbreaking work of our Heart and Vascular Institute,” said Matt Mendenhall, MD, Chief Medical Officer of AdventHealth Littleton. “Innovation is not just about advancing technology, it’s about advancing care. By reimagining cardiovascular medicine, we’re ensuring our patients receive the best outcomes and the compassionate, whole-person care they deserve.”

In partnership with South Denver Cardiology, the Heart and Vascular Institute has already achieved several innovative medical firsts, including being the first in Colorado to implement pulsed field ablation and cardioneural ablation, two groundbreaking procedures that destroy abnormal heart tissue. The hospital also leads the region in using leadless pacemaker implants and has introduced radiation-reducing cardiac catheterization lab technology that eliminates the need for heavy lead vests, protecting both patients and staff.
