Memorial Healthcare System is expanding access to advanced cardiovascular care with the opening of a redesigned home for the Memorial Cardiac and Vascular Institute (MCVI) at Memorial Hospital West, creating a centralized, patient-focused destination for comprehensive heart and vascular services.
The new MCVI space represents a $15.59 million investment in cardiovascular care and includes approximately 20,000 square feet of clinical space that will address growing demand on the west side of Broward County, where the need for cardiovascular services was expected to outpace existing capacity. Previously located in office space within the hospital’s adjoining medical office building, MCVI services are now moving into a dedicated standalone facility on Memorial Hospital West’s campus that is designed to bring multiple specialties and services together in one convenient location.
The building has been fully reimagined and redesigned to support the growing needs of the cardiovascular program. The result is a modern, integrated environment where patients can access physician visits, imaging, diagnostic testing and treatment in one location.
A key feature of the expansion is the addition of a dedicated outpatient cardiac CT imaging service, anchored by a Siemens Alpha 256-slice cardiac CT scanner. This next-generation system uses photon-counting CT, a breakthrough advancement that provides significantly higher image resolution and improved diagnostic precision compared with conventional CT technology.
The new space also strengthens Memorial’s role in physician training and workforce development. It accommodates a growing cardiology fellowship program, providing fellows with access to advanced technology and expanded opportunities for hands-on training.
