The new Pepin Heart Hospital & Research Institute at University Community Hospital will fundamentally change healthcare and heart care delivery in the Southeastern United States. We will combine the latest technology with the vision for advanced, safe cardiovascular care. University Community Hospital will be the first in the Southeast to make this unprecedented digital technology system available to patients and families involved in the battle against heart disease, America’s number one killer of men and women. A new standard of care will be set in 2005 with the opening of the Pepin Heart Hospital & Research Institute.
