The Heart & Vascular Institute, a member of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth), recently expanded its robust suite of heart and vascular care offerings to network affiliate HealthAlliance Hospital: Broadway Campus with two distinguished cardiologists who will care for patients in Kingston.
Cardiologists Paul A. Hanna, MD, and Syed Naqvi, MD -- who already provide cardiology services at MidHudson Regional Hospital in Poughkeepsie, also a member of WMCHealth -- now provide consultative, diagnostic and preventive adult cardiology services, as well as inpatient cardiac and critical care at HealthAlliance Hospital: Broadway Campus.
"We are pleased to bring this top-ranked team of cardiologists to HealthAlliance," said Julio A. Panza, Chief of Cardiology at WMCHealth. "Kingston-area patients now have access to the broadest possible range of solutions from a team of world-class physicians, supported by some of the most highly skilled and experienced nurses and technicians in the region."
WMCHealth's Heart & Vascular Institute is committed to providing the highest quality comprehensive cardiovascular care and expertise to residents of the Hudson Valley, close to home, in the communities where they live.
The new HealthAlliance cardiology team will see patients for conditions including heart valve disease, coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndrome, angina, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, valvular heart disease and congenital heart disease.
HealthAlliance Hospital patients will also benefit from access to a broad range of advanced cardiovascular care services at WMCHealth's flagship, Westchester Medical Center.
The opening of the new cardiology practice follows the opening of the WMCHealth Physicians surgical practice in Lake Katrine. The Lake Katrine office offers general, vascular, thoracic, neurological and breast surgery services, as well as abdominal surgical oncology.
