PMC Expands Cardiac Services
Cardiologist Dr. Rodney Handshoe has joined the staff of Pikeville Medical Center’s Heart Institute. Dr. Handshoe will practice on Tuesday through Thursday at the Heart Institute and on Mondays and Fridays at the newly opened Cardiology Clinic in Paintsville. To schedule an appointment, call (606) 218-2939.
The Heart Institute at Pikeville Medical Center, the region’s highest accredited Chest Pain Center, has announced an expansion of services with the addition of Dr. Rodney Handshoe.
An eastern Kentucky native, Dr. Handshoe cared for patients in eastern Kentucky for nearly 20 years before moving to central Kentucky in 2005. Pikeville Medical Center’s mission of providing quality regional healthcare in a Christian environment was a compelling reason for Dr. Handshoe to return home.
“As so many native eastern Kentuckians do, I am returning to my roots,” said Dr. Handshoe. “My wife and I are eager to be back home, and I am looking forward to joining Pikeville Medical Center’s Heart Institute as we care for the people of eastern Kentucky.”
Dr. Bill Harris, spokesman for the Heart Institute, says the addition of Dr. Handshoe to the Heart Institute staff is a benefit to the community. “Dr. Rodney Handshoe is a welcome addition to our staff. He is well-known and respected, and many patients will be glad to hear he has returned. Bringing on quality people like Dr. Handshoe certainly contributed to Pikeville Medical Center’s National Hospital of the Year award.”
Dr. Handshoe is now available to see patients. Office hours will be in Pikeville Tuesday through Thursday, and in Paintsville on Mondays and Fridays. Both offices will be open from 9:00 am till 4:30 pm. The Pikeville office is at the Heart Institute inside Pikeville Medical Center at 911 By-Pass Road. The Paintsville office is at the Cardiology Clinic at the Belhasen Complex on the South Mayo Trail.
