Celebrating 76 Successful HIFU Procedures at CHI Memorial! We’re excited to share that 76 prostate cancer patients have received High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment at CHI Memorial! HIFU is a revolutionary, non-invasive option that targets prostate cancer with pinpoint accuracy, preserving surrounding healthy tissue and minimizing side effects like incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Unlike traditional treatments, HIFU focuses on removing only the cancerous cells in the prostate, offering a more tailored and less invasive approach for many patients. With minimal risks to nearby organs and a focus on preserving sexual and urinary function, HIFU is giving patients a powerful, targeted option for prostate cancer care. Thank you to Dr. Jeff Mullins and our team for providing this cutting-edge treatment to improve patients’ lives.

CHI Memorial remains open and operating on a normal schedule today. However, Cardiac Imaging at Cleveland and Atrium will be delayed until 10:00 AM. All hospital procedures will continue as scheduled.
