From surviving a heart attack to now thriving, William Deloach’s journey to recovery happened right here at home.
After experiencing a heart attack in 2010, William did well for years—until chest pain brought him to Upson Cardiology in 2025.
The URMC Cath Lab team, led by Dr. Adeniyi, performed a groundbreaking procedure—implanting a CRT-D (cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator) device to help his heart work more efficiently.
William was the first patient in our Cath Lab to receive this procedure, and the results speak for themselves: his heart function improved from 15% EF (ejection fraction) to 45% EF within the first 90 days. Today, he’s at 51% EF.
“The Cath Lab has been really good to me,” William shared. “It’s remarkable the things they can do here.”
But for William, it’s not just the treatments that stand out—it’s the connection with the people providing his care.
While shopping at Walmart with his wife, William turned around to see Dr. Adeniyi and his family. “We’re standing in Walmart—my cardiologist and I are having a conversation, his wife and my wife are talking with their kids. You don’t get that anywhere else.”
From innovative procedures to doctors who feel like neighbors, this is advanced healthcare you can trust—right here in your community.
