Community Heart and Vascular

Bringing together the best in cardiovascular care

In January 2009, The Indiana Heart Hospital, over 30 cardiovascular physicians and Community Health Network created Community Heart and Vascular, the first integrated model for cardiovascular care in central Indiana. At Community Heart and Vascular, leadership is uniquely achieved through partnerships between heart physicians and clinical administrators, increasing alignment in quality, safety and service to patients, families and other physicians in the hospital and the medical office.

Our ability to provide a more connected, coordinated and convenient experience is now greater than it has ever been, making your health care journey as simple as we can, to get you what you need sooner, safer and with a superior outcome. Our continuum of care will transcend the level the service we provide to our patients, families and physicians, creating a lasting legacy to the community we serve.

We offer the complete spectrum of integrated cardiovascular services, including assessment of heart attack risk; diagnosis and treatment of cardiac and vascular conditions (coronary artery disease, heart failure); heart surgery procedures (angioplasty, valve replacement, open heart surgery, bypass surgery); and cardiac rehabilitation.
