 The CardioVascular Institute is dedicated to the detection,
prevention, intervention and rehabilitation of heart related
diseases. From patients with chest pain to those with
congestive heart failure, all will find quality heart
care at Faith Regional Health Services. Our heart program
is supported by board certified cardiologists and surgeons,
certified nurse practitioners, and nurses and technicians
who provide patients with a specific diagnosis, the best
treatment and greatest possible outcomes for life.
The success of any cardiovascular procedure depends on
how quickly it occurs after a heart attack begins. The
more time that passes, the greater the damage to the heart.
 The CardioVascular Institute ensures that patients in
Norfolk and the surrounding communities will be able to
receive rapid diagnosis and treatment, thereby significantly
improving their chances of survival. We've made cardiac
services easier to access - closer to you, your family
and your physician.
