Cardiology

Vitae’s board-certified cardiologists and APRNs bridge the gap between hospital based care and skilled nursing care by providing comprehensive care for patients with heart disease or cardiovascular concerns from pre-admission through discharge. After reviewing laboratory or diagnostic reports from the hospital, our clinicians work hand in hand with facility leadership to determine clinical appropriateness of patients.

Once admitted, our clinicians provide diagnosis and custom treatment information to the patient, facility and family. Rounding throughout the week, our clinicians identify, treat and monitor patients through ongoing evaluation and medication management while working alongside the facility’s nurses, therapists, dieticians and other clinicians involved in patient care.

Once discharged, our physicians will work alongside the patient’s own cardiologist to ensure a smooth transition back to the community.
