As part of our efforts to provide access to needed specialty care to patients in rural areas, Intermountain has opened a new heart and vascular clinic in Mesquite, Nevada. The clinic will have five cardiology providers and two vascular clinicians.
Blake Gardner, MD, structural heart cardiologist, describes the services offered in the new clinic.
Services available at the clinic includes ECG, echocardiograms, vascular ultrasounds, device interrogations, cardiac arrhythmia risk evaluations, structural heart evaluations, general cardiology evaluations, and venous and arterial evaluations. Three providers who focus on electrophysiology will also begin offering services to patients at the clinic in October.
“We’re elated to offer these services to Mesquite residents who would otherwise have to travel to St. George or Las Vegas to receive the same level of quality care,” says Tonja Reidy, director of cardiology for Intermountain in Nevada. “Our clinicians and caregivers at this clinic benefit from the resources of our cardiology program, which is fully integrated with highly specialized heart services from the Intermountain Heart Institute.”
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and people of most racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. About 655,000 Americans die from heart disease each year, which is one in every four deaths.
The new Intermountain heart and vascular clinic, which opened September 4, is located adjacent to Intermountain’s myGeneration Senior Clinic, which opened in its new location last October. The myGeneration Senior Clinic model specializes in advanced primary care for seniors.
