Officials at Washington (Pa.) Health System announced their intent to partner with the Pittsburgh-based UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute to expand cardiac services in the area, effective this month, according to hospital officials.
UPMC surgeons will collaborate with WHS cardiovascular physicians and nurse practioners to provide quality care to WHS patients.
The partnership will expand WHS's cardiac services to include the development of a transcatheter aortic valve replacement program, along with other minimally invasive procedures and the expansion of heart failure and valve disease detection and management programs.
