Interventional radiologist Paul Bandt, MD, received the Healthcare Heroes Lifetime Achievement Award earlier this month for his decades of service and innovation throughout the state of Nevada.

Bandt began working at Desert Radiologists in Las Vegas in 1972, where he still practices. He established the company’s interventional radiology department, which is the largest in the state. He has also helped jumpstart interventional radiology departments in numerous hospitals.

The Healthcare Heroes awards were launched by Nevada Business in 2005 to celebrate leaders from the state’s medical industry. Information about Bandt and 2015’s other award winners is available on the Nevada Business website.
