Baltimore hospital debuts $6M outpatient heart institute

MedStar Union Memorial Hospital opened a new outpatient center on Wednesday to help patients struggling with heart conditions get care without traveling across different floors in a crowded hospital. The MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute combines disciplines like advanced heart failure, vascular surgery and other cardiac specialties in one place. The 10,000-square-foot building at the corner of Calvert Street and E 33rd Street in North Baltimore was once home to the hospital’s counseling center, now located across the street.
