The WVU Heart and Vascular Institute continues to earn recognition for its exceptional medical services. Recently, it was named to Becker’s Hospital Review’s 2024 list of “100 Hospitals and Health Systems with Great Heart Programs.”
According to Becker’s, this accolade is reserved for hospitals and health systems that are leaders in heart and vascular care. The list celebrates institutions that deliver high-quality outcomes, cultivate skilled teams of expert caregivers, and drive key research discoveries in heart care.
At the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute, a skilled team of board-certified, fellowship-trained providers is engaged in practice-changing research and innovative procedures. Using advanced techniques unavailable elsewhere in West Virginia, their work often sets new standards in the field. Many of these innovative practices are shared globally, reflecting the institution’s influence in cardiovascular healthcare.
As an academic health institution and a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded center, the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute prioritizes accessibility to the latest clinical trials. It aims to serve both urban and rural populations across the state and region, ensuring that cutting-edge treatments are available to everyone.
The institute is known for providing a highly personalized patient experience. It attracts patients and physicians from across West Virginia, surrounding areas, and even from international locations, all seeking its expertise.
To create this prestigious list, the Becker’s Hospital Review editorial team evaluated rankings and accolades from reputable organizations, including U.S. News & World Report, Healthgrades, and The Leapfrog Group. The intention of this recognition is to highlight hospitals and health systems that excel in heart care.
Vinay Badhwar, M.D., executive chair of the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute, expressed pride in the team’s achievements. “It remains my honor and privilege to be associated with the many thoughtful nation-leading experts that represent the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute,” Badhwar said. “Together, along with the steadfast support of WVU Medicine, these physician leaders and their teams bring a new meaning to mission-driven healthcare.”
