SCL Health St. Mary’s new Heart & Vascular Institute brings the most advanced cardiac and vascular care available - right to the heart of Western Colorado. This means patients can stay closer to their doctors, homes, jobs, and support networks that advance outcomes and improve lives. The new Heart & Vascular Institute provides significantly expanded access to care options never before available in our region. Advanced minimally invasive procedures such as TAVR/TAVI heart valve implants have the potential to reduce patient discomfort, shorten recovery time, and offer an alternative procedure when open surgery might present challenges.
