Medical City Fort Worth celebrates opening of Heart Recovery Clinic
Transforming cardiac care with a focus on recovery and hope.
Medical City Fort Worth celebrated the grand opening of its innovative Heart Recovery Clinic on Dec. 3 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The new space is dedicated to improving patient outcomes and offering hope for those with heart conditions.
The clinic is located in a newly renovated, easily accessible space designed for patients who may face physical challenges navigating a large hospital. It offers specialized care, including echocardiograms, IV diuretics for volume overload, nutrition counseling, exercise programs, and medical management. Previously known as the heart failure clinic, the name change reflects the hospital’s commitment to recovery, not failure.
“We’re redefining heart care with a focus on recovery,” says Cyril Varughese, DO, regional medical director for heart failure. “This clinic is about offering hope and improving quality of life to provide healthier tomorrows for patients.”
Since its initial launch in 2022, more than 100 patients have received care, with 523 visits completed. Many patients have successfully “graduated” from requiring continued follow-up care, a testament to the clinic's transformative impact.
“Our goal is to deliver exceptional care while rewriting the narrative for those living with cardiac conditions,” says John Hoover, Medical City Fort Worth CEO. “This clinic underscores our commitment to making Medical City Fort Worth the destination of choice for healthcare excellence.”
Medical City Fort Worth is a premier destination for advanced heart care in North Texas, providing a full range of cardiac treatment options ranging from cardiac catheterization to heart bypass and valve surgery and other leading-edge therapies. Learn more here.
