Naples (Fla.) Comprehensive Health is founding an advanced heart failure and transplant program.
The program builds on the success of the NCH Rooney Heart Institute, which has been recognized as one of the nation’s leading cardiac care programs, according to a March 12 system news release. The program will begin offering left ventricular assist devices and providing advanced therapy options for patients with refractory heart failure.
The addition of the procedures will build to a heart transplant program, which will in turn be the foundation for other solid organ transplant capabilities, the release said.
Naples Comprehensive Health is a nonprofit community healthcare system.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
