Director's Description

This is a long-standing ACHD program with a commitment to patient-oriented quality care. We see patients across several counties in Central Pennsylvania. There are good resources here for all ACHD needs - pregnancy, arrhythmias, imaging, heart failure, intervention, and CT surgery. Most isolated orthotopic heart transplants are done in-house, with multi-organ transplants referred where appropriate. We have 16.3 half-day clinic sessions a week. We see patients in Dauphin, Centre, York, Berks, and Lancaster Counties.
