Now that this approach is being adopted nationwide, the Institute maintains its extraordinary position in cardiovascular medicine with innovative techniques, new technologies, advanced research and an international focus.

Resources for Hospital Data
Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) makes available data on hospital prices and performance on their Internet website at http://www.floridahealthstat.com. The data on hospital prices and performance are based on a compilation of charges for the average patient. A patient's bill may vary from the average shown, depending upon the severity of illness and individual care needs.
