Cardiology

St. Vincent's HealthCare runs a cardiovascular program that is expanding as a result of the recent opening of the Gary & Nancy Chartrand Heart and Vascular Center on the campus at St. Vincent's Medical Center.

Approximately 20,000 cardiovascular procedures are performed for patients each year—including diagnostic and non-invasive testing services, outpatient treatments, interventional procedures, and surgeries.

St. Vincent's was the first to perform open heart surgery in Jacksonville and now has the largest open-heart program in the region.

Spine & Brain Institute

St. Vincent's Spine & Brain Institute provides care for Northeast Florida patients afflicted with neurological disorders. Within St. Vincent's Spine and Brain Institute, there are two main parts—a neurosurgery division and a neurology division.
