New $7.1 million heart, vascular center opens in Woodbridge

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. () — A new facility has officially opened its doors in Woodbridge, dedicated to outpatient heart and vascular patients. The center was brought to life after Sentara Health, Carient Heart & Vascular and Polaris Heart & Vascular Clinic partnered to create the new state-of-the-art facility. The $7.1 million is the first of its kind in Northern Virginia and was designed and built with the latest advancements in outpatient cardiac care. FDA's top vaccine regulator departs amid conservative criticism Officials noted that the facility was designed to improve access, patient experience and affordability for the growing community in Prince William County. The center will offer cardiac catheterizations, percutaneous coronary interventions, electrophysiology procedures to include pacemakers, ICD implants and more. 'What this means to patients is that they can now have cardiac procedures done in an outpatient setting without having to go through the often-rigorous process of a hospital visit, offering greater convenience, comfort, and privacy to people in this area,' said SNVMC President Jeff Joyner. 'Sentara is proud to work with our partners to bring such innovation to Northern Virginia.' Officials noted that procedures are completed as an outpatient procedure, and patients go home the same day. 'Another significant advantage for patients is the typically lower out-of-pocket costs compared to a hospital setting,' added Jessica Mountjoy, the center's administrator.
