Heart Center

A tradition of exceptional care
for children's hearts;
A new center of excellence.

The Riley Heart Center concentrates the clinical disciplines and skills existing previously in different locations throughout Riley Hospital for Children, and coordinates them in a state-of-the-art facility focused solely on treating congenital heart defects and acquired cardiovascular diseases in newborns, children and adolescents.

This is the only cardiac inpatient unit in the state of Indiana created exclusively for children. The center provides a continuity of patient care for those undergoing diagnostic evaluation and if necessary, corrective procedures ranging from the most common to the most unusual and complex. It encompasses a suite of private rooms with the latest technology and carefully planned and designed family amenities.

Now, every pediatric cardiovascular procedure, every examination and every consultation will either take place here or be managed and coordinated from this unit. The Riley Heart Center is, quite simply, the heart of  this   hospital-wide center of cardiac care excellence.
