“The care at Hannibal Regional was incredible. Everyone, from the doctors to the staff, was top-notch.”
In early 2024, Don Gull of Farmington, Iowa began experiencing worsening PVCs but faced a six-month wait for care elsewhere, prompting him to contact the Hannibal Regional Heart Center—where he was seen within days. Under the care of Dr. Santhosh Mannem and cardiac electrophysiologist Dr. Santhisri Kodali, testing revealed not only the need for an ablation but also a critical 80% blockage in Don’s “widowmaker” artery and severe restenosis of prior stents, requiring open heart surgery. Performed successfully on July 17, 2024, by cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Jose Torres, the surgery and post-operative care exceeded Don’s expectations, especially compared to his past experiences at larger hospitals. Just two months later, Don returned to work with renewed energy, walking regularly and feeling “ten times better,” while continuing follow-up care at Hannibal Regional. His experience underscores the life-saving importance of timely access to expert, compassionate heart care—and the difference it can make in a patient’s quality of life.

"I am so thankful Dr. Mannem took charge and saved my life.”
Two years ago, Dorian Stewart of Hannibal, Missouri began experiencing chest pain she initially dismissed as heartburn, but with a strong family history of heart disease, she was urged to seek care. After facing long delays and inconclusive treatment recommendations elsewhere, Dorian sought a second opinion at Hannibal Regional with interventional cardiologist Dr. Santhosh Mannem and was seen the very next day. Further testing revealed a life-threatening condition—three arteries were 100% blocked—leading to urgent open heart surgery. Following surgery, Dorian completed cardiac rehabilitation at Hannibal Regional, rebuilding her strength and confidence while committing to a healthier lifestyle. Today, she continues her care with Dr. Mannem and remains grateful for the decisive, life-saving care she received, knowing her heart health is in trusted hands.

“I never imagined I’d be the one having a heart attack,”
Ronald Young, a farmer in Monroe City, was rushed to the emergency department at Hannibal Regional after waking with severe pain in his right arm. Doctors quickly determined he was having a heart attack, and when a stent wasn’t enough, Ronald was told open heart surgery was necessary to save his life. He chose to have surgery at Hannibal Regional with cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Jose Torres, and the procedure and follow-up care exceeded his expectations. After completing cardiac rehab and continuing care with cardiologist Dr. Santhosh Mannem, Ronald has regained his strength and returned to working on his farm. Grateful for the care he received, Ronald credits the Hannibal Regional team with helping him get back to the life he loves.
