Ann Arbor-based University of Michigan Health System announced its cardiovascular center is adding 14 new cardiologists to meet increasing outpatient demand.
UMHS had 1.6 million adult outpatient visits last year, and this rate is increasing by roughly 3 percent each year, according to the release.
The new cardiologists will see patients at the following Michigan facilities, which are named for the city where they are located: Canton Health Center, Chelsea Health Center, Livonia Health Center and Saline Health Center. This expansion marks the first time UMHS will provide cardiology care in Saline, according to the release.
In addition to decreasing wait times for appointments, the additional physicians will help expand UMHS' experience in women's cardiology, pulmonary hypertension, electrophysiology and minimally invasive valve replacement, according to UMHS.
