Approach to Care - UM Heart Network
The University of Maryland Heart Network's multidisciplinary team of experienced heart specialists works together across the region to deliver you high-quality cardiac care close to home. From diagnosis to treatment to rehabilitation, patients receive the comprehensive care in their communities. If more complex care is needed, patients are seamlessly referred to the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC), where the most advanced minimally invasive and open-heart surgical treatments are performed.
