Coming in 2014: DMC Heart Hospital
Home of the DMC Cardiovascular Institute and Cardio Team One
DMC Heart Hospital…the new heart of Detroit
In 2014, the new heart of Detroit will be unveiled: DMC Heart Hospital. This completely new structure will be home to DMC Cardiovascular Institute, as well Cardio Team One. As Michigan’s first and only heart hospital, DMC Heart Hospital will change the way cardiac care is delivered. Unlike other hospitals and institutions, DMC Heart Hospital will be a unique collaboration of specialists. Cardiologists, Cardiac Surgeons and Vascular Surgeons will all work together, in a single place with a single goal: To provide extraordinary, immediate heart care to patients suffering from all forms of heart disease and vascular disease.
DMC Cardiovascular Institute…America’s Best Heart Doctors
The DMC Cardiovascular Institute is already changing the way physicians and hospitals approach cardiovascular care. Our patients benefit from a multidisciplinary team of top physicians, nurses and specialists working together in the areas of cardiology, cardiac surgery, vascular medicine and surgery, cardiovascular anesthesiology, cardiac behavioral medicine and radiology.
The institute combines a community-based care philosophy with groundbreaking research and the most advanced technology and treatments. It’s a combination that pays off in patient outcomes. Recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top Heart and Heart Surgery programs in the nation, DMC Cardiovascular Institute is a regional destination for advanced cardiovascular care.
DMC Cardio Team One…On site, not on call
At CVI, America’s best heart doctors and cardiologists are always on site — not just on call. Cardio Team One heart specialists are ready and waiting for our most serious patients when they arrive, 24/7. When you’re experiencing a serious heart problem, every single second matters. Delays can make the difference between life and death. That’s why DMC ensures that the best doctors are always there, when you need them most.
The New Heart of Detroit
It’s only fitting that there be a dedicated center for all of this advanced care. That’s why DMC is building the DMC Heart Hospital, right here, in the heart of Detroit, the city we’ve served for nearly a century and a half. In 1863, DMC was here, providing care to the new heart of industrial America. A century later, the world’s first mechanical heart was built, tested and launched here. And in 2014, the new DMC Heart Hospital will open, a new home for DMC Cardiovascular Institute and Cardio Team One. A new hospital, dedicated to keeping the heart of Detroit as strong as ever. The DMC Heart Hospital: the building may be new, but when it comes to cardiac care, DMC is always there.
