🚴 Back on the Bike 🚴
For Mark Wagner, cycling is more than a hobby—it's a way of life.
After a heart condition threatened to keep him off the road, Mark found expert care at Dignity Health - California Hospital Medical Center.

Thanks to a successful procedure and the support of an exceptional care team, he's returned to the rides he loves, logging miles and climbing hills once again.

"We felt completely confident that Mark was in the best hands," said his wife, Patti.

Mark's story is a reminder of what's possible when clinical excellence meets humankindness.
