Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute offers a multidisciplinary team approach to preventing, diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease. The Institute’s philosophy – to treat the entire cardiovascular system as a single entity – sets it apart from other medical centers that treat the heart and circulatory system separately. Established in 1987, under the leadership of Barry T. Katzen, M.D., Baptist Cardiac & Vascular Institute houses state-of-the-art diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation areas, as well as the most advanced endovascular suites in the world. In addition, the Institute’s medical staff is actively involved in many federally-approved clinical research studies to find better, less invasive ways of diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease.

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.
Baptist Health is committed to quality healthcare and patient safety, participating in a variety of state and national initiatives.
