In 1968, under the leadership of the chief of cardiology at Roanoke Memorial Hospital, Dr. Robert Earle Glendy, we were the first in the region to have an Intensive Care Unit for patients. We then were a part of a statewide project to determine how well ICU's work for patients who have suffered heart attacks.

Now, many years later, we are a leader in advanced cardiac care. We offer several minimally invasive procedures and more than a half dozen coronary artery disease clinical trials. Dr. Jacek Slowikowski, Dr. Mohd Mirza, Dr. Chalak Berzingi, and Dr. Ali Hama Amin are the physician researchers leading those studies. We are proud to have such dedicated physician researchers on our team. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3V0nx5i
