Cardiovascular Services at Pardee

At UNC Health Pardee, you will find a multitude of comprehensive heart and vascular services to ensure that you get the best possible results, from diagnostic testing and minimally invasive procedures to vascular emergency surgery. Our goal is to grow and change with our community so that we are the resource for the outstanding care that our community deserves and expects. 

Cardiovascular Physician Team

Physicians and surgeons lead our diverse cardiovascular team with nationally recognized backgrounds. These physicians hail from highly regarded fellowship programs and bring their expertise and experience to the team and our community. The continued growth of our cardiology team is part of our commitment to bringing our community the care they deserve.

In an industry where it is common to wait weeks or even months for an appointment, we strive to innovate and excel beyond our competition to better meet the needs of our community. Our testing and screening is performed with state-of-the-art technology and our technologists and technicians have over 100 years of combined experience.

STEMI: Life-Saving Care for Heart Attacks

Because hearts can't wait, every second counts. Did you know that many heart attacks can be treated with interventional cardiology procedures and do not require open heart surgery?

Pardee is designated for 24/7 STEMI and a PCI-receiving hospital, so we have the resources and expertise to provide round-the-clock interventional cardiology coverage for Henderson, Transylvania, and Polk County residents. When a heart attack occurs, you will be transported to and treated at a hospital close to home. We believe that this can mean better outcomes and healthier patients.

This philosophy is the driving force behind the care that we strive to provide each and every patient.
