 The Pediatric Cardiology Department provides the highest level of cardiac care, providing diagnosis and management of a full spectrum of heart problems in infants, children and young adults. We recognize the value that parents and family have in helping children and young adults with heart problems, so we have adopted a family-centered approach to care.
Our services consist of a variety of diagnostic techniques including cardiac consultation, EKG analysis, exercise stress testing and state-of-the-art echocardiogram equipment.
For expectant parents with a family history of cardiovascular disease, we offer fetal echocardiogram testing and, if necessary, after your child is born we offer observation and care in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
Children who need cardiology services are cared for by a team of experienced, compassionate physicians and nurses and our cardiac technicians are led by a Registered Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer (RDCS) who has earned special certifications to work with pediatric patients.
