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 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
