With the latest technology to treat heart disease, this OR allows surgeons, cardiologists and interventional radiologists to perform complex minimally invasive procedures with the ability to quickly transition to a fully functional operating room if the need arises. This means faster healing and better outcomes for their patients along with smaller, less invasive incisions which reduce recovery time – saving time, money and lives.

Those attending can park in the visitor and patient parking ramp off of 5th street and take the elevators to the 5th floor Heart and Vascular Center.
