The Heart & Vascular Center at Columbus Regional Hospital is the area's only hospital to offer comprehensive cardiac services including open-heart surgery.
Having advanced cardiac care, including open-heart surgery and interventional cardiology, available in our community makes it easier on patients and families. It's also important in cardiac emergencies when every minute counts.
The Heart & Vascular Center has an eight-bed specialized cardiac intensive care unit for those who require hospitalization; two cardiac operating rooms; two cardiac catheterization labs, including the first all digital cardiac catheterization lab in Indiana; and an electrophysiology laboratory.

The Heart & Vascular Center also offers interventional cardiology procedures such as angioplasty and stenting, as well as the implantation of pacemakers and defibrillators, electrophysiology studies and ablation.
