We provide services for the diagnosis, medical treatment and rehabilitation of heart disease.
We also provide surgical treatments in our state-of-the-art cardiac catheterisation laboratories. Find out more about heart treatments.
Our comprehensive Heart Failure Service involves a specialist Heart Function Clinic, exercise rehabilitation programs at both the hospital and in regional community health centres, and heart failure nurses undertaking regular home visits.
