Treatment
Its
important to know that heart surgery is done here almost every day;
that we have one of only 1,000 pediatric cardiologists in the nation,
and one of only 300 cardiologists board certified in cardiac electrophysiology.
The Marquette General Heart Institute's interventional and
surgical cardiac program is staffed by 12 board certified or board
eligible physicians, including the only Nuclear Cardiologist in
the Upper Peninsula.
The
Marquette General Heart Institute continually evaluates the quality
of care. An ongoing formal quality improvement program has
been established in which a collaborative practice committee comprised
of cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, administrators, quality
management staff (or personnel) and nurses oversee the process.
