Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the state of Michigan, and the nation. That’s why Detroit Medical Center has dedicated powerful resources to creating cardiac care centers that lead the region in research and care.
Our leading edge technology and facilities allow our team of cardiovascular specialists to deliver a full spectrum of services. From advanced diagnostics that allow our doctors to see the heart like never before, to an array of minimally invasive procedures designed to allow our DMC heart specialists to treat the problem with reduced pain, scarring and recovery time.
From the Pediatric Heart Specialists at DMC Children’s Hospital of Michigan to the experts of DMC Cardio Team One, DMC cardiovascular care is always there.
…DMC Harper University Hospital was chosen as one of the Top 50 hospitals in the nation for Cardiology Care in 2011 by U.S.News & World Report.
…DMC Sinai-Grace Hospital was named among the best in Heart and Heart Surgery in southeast Michigan by U.S.News & World Report.
It’s why we created DMC Cardio Team One, the only place in the state where heart specialists are on site, not “on call.” When you come to DMC Harper University Hospital, DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital and DMC SInai-Grace Hospital with a cardiac emergency, our specialists are ready and waiting to begin care, 24/7, every day of the year.
Learn more about DMC Cardio Team One at DMC's Midtown campus (DMC Detroit Receiving Hospital and DMC Harper University Hospital) and at DMC Sinai-Grace Hospital.
It’s also why we created DMC Cardiovascular Institute, the first hospital in the state dedicated solely to cardiac care. Currently at home inside DMC Harper University Hospital, DMC Cardiovascular Institute will soon move to a new multi-floor, multi-million dollar building, right here in midtown Detroit.
