New Name for Cardiac Care in the Pacific Northwest

Adventist Health is pleased to announce a new name for its regional network of cardiovascular care sites across Oregon. 

Formerly known as Northwest Regional Heart and Vascular, the new name, Adventist Health Northwest Heart Center, more clearly identifies the program’s location and that it is part of the Adventist Health system.

“This is more than a name change,” said Kyle King, Adventist Health Oregon State Network president. “This is a unified program. The new name more accurately and effectively represents the size and scope of the Adventist Health cardiac care program across our network.”

Adventist Health Northwest Heart Center aims to meet the increasing demand for rural access to quality heart care. The center is well known for minimally invasive surgery, treatment of emergent chest pain and advanced cardiac care through interventional cardiology and electrophysiology. The center has locations in Portland, McMinnville, Columbia Gorge and on the Oregon coast.

“Refocusing cardiac services into one statewide service line allows us to better meet this need with coordinated care, supporting patients across all our Oregon sites,” said Fawaz Alhumaid, Adventist Health Northwest Heart Center medical director.
