Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Orange County and across the country. In response to the growing need within our community for advanced heart and vascular care, we worked with leading heart specialists to develop a center that truly meets our community's needs.
MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute Offers
More than a dozen types of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures can be performed at the MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Orange Coast, utilizing its state-of-the-art cardiovascular catheterization laboratory.The lab's digital imaging system provides highly detailed views of the heart and surrounding blood vessels while minizing radiation exposure. This new technology gives cardiologists the ability to look inside the heart and blood vessels. Procedures can be performed more efficiently and with less risk to patients.
These capabilities complement Orange Coast Memorial's noninvasive cardiology services and enhance its award-winning emergency department by allowing patients admitted with chest pain or other heart attack symptoms to go directly to the cardiovascular center for diagnostic procedures.

Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center will open the Orange Coast Patient Care Pavilion. This modern outpatient services building will allow us continue to deliver high-quality care, especially to our heart care patients, all in one beautiful and convenient location. Orange Coast Memorial will soon become one of the first hospitals in the nation to introduce a hybrid interventional cardiac suite. This revolutionary new facility is one of only a handful in the country and is a state-of-the-art operating room and cardiac catheterization lab combined. The new hybrid interventional cardiac suite is designed for open-heart surgeries such as cardiac bypass, as well as catheter-based procedures like angioplasty. This new facility also allows cardiac surgeons to perform diagnostic testing during and at the end of surgery.The MemorialCare Heart & Vascular Institute at Orange Coast was funded in part by generous donations from area business, residents and our own affiliated physicians and employees.
