About the NIH Heart Center at Suburban Hospital


Choosing a hospital for your cardiac care...

...is one of the most important decisions you and your physician will ever make

Should it be a medical center with comprehensive services or an academic, research-oriented institution that advances the understanding of cardiac disease? Or, perhaps you'd prefer a smaller, community hospital, closer to home that promises more comfort, caring and personal service. How about one hospital that provides all that and more?

Suburban Hospital's specialized center for cardiac care, anchored by the new NIH Heart Center, brings the clinical and scientific excellence of two renowned medical institutions to a community-based cardiac program conveniently located in the heart of Bethesda, Maryland. Through collaboration with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health and Johns Hopkins Medicine, Suburban Hospital can now provide patients easy access to advanced cardiovascular treatments available in very few medical centers.

In addition to state-of-the-art cardiac surgery and angioplasty, the new NIH Heart Center at Suburban Hospital will provide training for the next generation of cardiac surgeons and cardiologists, and, through ground-breaking research, contribute to improvements in the treatment of cardiac disease worldwide. The NIH Heart Center also complements a broad range of existing cardiac programs at Suburban Hospital-from emergency/trauma care to state-of-the-art cardiac diagnostics and rehabilitation-which, over the years, have helped many thousands of patients recover from heart disease.

All this cardiac excellence is now available for you in a hospital already recognized by Washingtonian magazine as one of the region's five best healthcare institutions.
