Adventist Health is formalizing a new brand for cardiac care across Oregon. Formerly Northwest Regional Heart & Vascular, the new name, Adventist Health Northwest Heart Center, more clearly identifies this premier cardiovascular program’s place in Oregon and in the Adventist Health system.
“This is more than a name change,” explains Kyle King, Adventist Health Oregon State Network president. “This is a unified program that represents the size and scope of our cardiac program more accurately and effectively across our network of care.”
Adventist Health Northwest Heart Center aims to meet the ever-increasing demand for rural access to quality heart care. “Refocusing cardiac services into one statewide service line allows us to better meet this need with coordinated care supporting patients across all our Oregon sites,” says Fawaz Alhumaid, MD, Adventist Health Northwest Heart Center medical director.
Well-known for its Portland-based minimally invasive surgery program, emergent treatment of chest pain, and advanced cardiac care in both interventional cardiology and electrophysiology programs, Northwest Heart Center is a regional network of care with locations in Portland, McMinnville, the Columbia Gorge and the Oregon coast.
