Providence Heart institute
Providence Heart institute gathers all of our nationally ranked cardiovascular services together in one convenient southfield location. The result: an even higher level of quality, convenience and satisfaction for our patients and their family members.
Everything at the Providence Heart institute was designed with cardiovascular patients in mind – from convenient parking and a dedicated entrance for heart patients to a dedicated nuclear cardiology lab and a specialized, high-tech unit for patients who need continuous heart monitoring. And it’s all located on the Providence Hospital campus, just steps away from our state-of-the-art cardiovascular procedure suites.
