For nearly eight years, Lexington Medical Center has provided patients with complete cardiac care. And now, the hospital has taken the next step in that care. Lexington Medical Heart and Vascular Center integrates all cardiovascular services available in the hospital’s network of care. It will lead the way in shaping cardiovascular care in this community for years to come.
“Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. The formation of the Heart and Vascular Center represents Lexington Medical Center’s commitment to help serve those in our community who face this challenging disease. Patients can now come to one facility where real collaboration can occur to promote the best outcomes,” said Robert M. Malanuk, MD, FACC, medical director at Lexington Medical Heart and Vascular Center.
Lexington Medical Heart and Vascular Center is a collaborative practice that promotes teamwork among all its specialists and serves as the standard for groundbreaking research and advanced heart and vascular patient care. The team at Lexington Heart and Vascular Center includes all Lexington Cardiology physicians and advanced practice providers, all Lexington Cardiovascular Surgery physicians and advanced practice providers, and the vascular surgery specialists from Southern Surgical Group.
“Our vision for Lexington Medical Heart and Vascular Center is to have a multidisciplinary, nationally recognized center that is a regional and statewide referral center for advanced cardiovascular care,” said Robert A. Leonardi, MD, FACC, FSCAI. “Our heart surgeons, vascular surgeons and cardiologists work together to provide the best care possible to patients with complex cardiovascular diseases.”
Heart disease and vascular disease are serious and closely related. Patients who have one are more likely to have the other. The multidisciplinary team at Lexington Medical Heart and Vascular Center combines the expertise of three medical specialties to address every aspect of patients’ needs from diagnosis and treatment to management and prevention. This approach gives patients continued access to the highest quality care while providing them with innovative and comprehensive treatment options.
“Lexington Medical Heart and Vascular Center will allow us to continue to provide quality health care services that meet the needs of our growing community,” said Jeffrey A. Travis, MD, cardiothoracic surgeon.
