With its welcoming, stylish, five-story atrium, the Institute is the ideal setting for discovery and healing through innovative methods of diagnoses, treatment, clinical research and education. It expands upon the Hospital's existing cardiac care expertise and connects all cardiac services – plus it adds a layer of public and patient education not available at other hospitals. The end result – enhanced patient experience, reduced infections, faster recoveries, disease prevention, education and, perhaps most important, improved patient outcomes.
