Cardiologist adds hours at FirstHealth offices in Laurinburg, Pembroke

LAURINBURG Dr. William L. Harris, an interventional cardiologist board certified in cardiovascular diseases and a member of FirstHealth Cardiology Services, now offers office hours in Laurinburg and Pembroke.

Harris, a Pembroke native, joined FirstHealth Cardiology Services following the completion of a fellowship in interventional cardiology at The Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University in June 2014. He performs diagnostic cardiac catheterizations at the Scotland Cardiovascular Center, a partnership between Scotland Memorial Hospital and FirstHealth of the Carolinas.

Harris interest in cardiology is fueled by his mothers battle with coronary artery disease, a condition that eventually took her life.

That greatly influenced my decision to become a physician, he said. Following that experience, I felt an obligation to treat patients with cardiovascular disease. My specialty allows me to take care of patients in multiple settings

He completed a residency in internal medicine at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in 2009 and then spent a year with the Moore Regional Hospitalist Service before entering The Brody School of Medicine in Greenville.
