Ascension St. Vincent Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship

Welcome

The Cardiology training program focuses on training leaders in cardiology committed to their career and prepared to excel in the art and science of cardiovascular medicine. The training not only provides all the fundamental skills necessary to enable the physician to become an exemplary clinician and teacher, but also instills the utmost respect for the patient, stressing the critical importance of a compassionate and caring doctor-patient relationship.

The training program encourages each fellow to engage in clinical research that will lead to improved understanding of disease processes, and ultimately, toward advancements in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease.

Ascension St. Vincent Hospital, Indianapolis

Ascension is the nation’s largest Catholic hospital system. Our Indiana ministry has grown in services and access, while delivering industry-leading care in areas such as cardiovascular, women’s health, pediatrics, neurosciences, cancer care, orthopedics, bariatrics, trauma and employer-based health care solutions. 

Ascension St. Vincent has dramatically overhauled operations. It built three major construction projects worth a total of $325 million at its flagship West 86th Street health care campus, representing one of the largest capital investments in decades.

The new projects are a brain and spine hospital, a new women’s health hospital, and a new parking garage. 

The 49-year-old campus is also home to a Level 1 Trauma center, one of only three organ-transplant centers in Indiana, and a 625-bed main hospital. It serves patients from all 92 counties and surrounding states. 

Ascension Central Indiana operations includes hospitals in Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers and Anderson, along with St. Vincent Heart Center and St. Vincent Stress Center.
