What Heart Procedure Can We Help You With?

Ocala Heart and Vascular Institute is an association of Invasive/Interventional Cardiologists, Cardiothoracic/Thoracic/Vascular Surgeons and Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists working together to provide quality care for cardiac, thoracic and vascular patients.

Affiliated Ocala Heart Institute Hospitals

The Ocala Heart Institute began its affiliation with Munroe Regional Medical Center in 1988. As the Ocala Heart and Vascular Institute has grown, we now have many affiliated hospitals throughout Florida in addition to Ocala with locations in Leesburg, Citrus, Venice, Winter Haven and Stuart.

Excellence in Heart Procedures – Top 50

Year after year our doctors and affiliated hospitals gain recognition and receive numerous awards for excellence in the work they perform. The cardiac program in Venice has been recognized for four consecutive years as a Top 100 Cardiovascular program nationally, and this year, both Venice and Stuart are both rated in the Top 50 Hospitals for Heart Care by Thomson Reuters, a well-respected independent medical rating company.

What does it mean to be in the Top 50?

The study showed that the top cardiovascular hospitals surpassed averages with better risk-adjusted survival rates, lower complication indices, fewer patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge, shorter hospital visits and lower costs than those not in the Top 50.

Quality Care

Our team provides the highest quality care possible. In providing for your care, we want you to be as comfortable and confident as possible. During hospitalization, you are visited frequently by members of our team who are involved in the planning and implementation of your care, and our physicians are on call 24 hours a day.

Teamwork

The collaboration of the doctors, physicians assistants, nurses and staff make us who we are. We combine expertise, care and wisdom to help patients have a healthy life and family. The mission of the Ocala Heart Institute is to honor God by providing care based upon faith principles, treating others the way we ourselves would seek to be treated. We recognize God’s blessing upon our outcomes and the need to be good stewards with what God has entrusted to us.

More than Hearts

Because of the name Ocala Heart Institute, many mistake thinking all we do is heart surgery. When in actuality, we provide the same degree of quality and expertise in performing lung, esophageal, vascular and pacemaker surgeries.
