Shaping the Future of Cardiac Care
The human heart is a remarkable organ—an elaborate arrangement of chambers, valves, and blood vessels that all work together in harmony. The same can be said of the multidisciplinary team that comprises the Bruce & Robbi Toll Heart and Vascular Institute.
With 150 cardiac, pulmonary, and vascular specialists, we have the combined expertise to manage coronary heart disease, heart failure, arrhythmia, heart valve disease, heart muscle disease, heart defects, and peripheral vascular disease. Our physicians have collectively cared for more than 1,200 heart transplant patients and actively participate in the care of patients who have congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathies, and ventricular assist devices (VAD). Whether it’s getting our patients back in rhythm or clearing the way to a heart-healthy lifestyle, specialists at Jefferson deploy some of the most innovative techniques to get your heart where it needs to be.
