General Practitioners

• Stroke Rehabilitation
  University Medical Center is positioned to become the state’s center of excellence in cardiovascular care. While UMC has offered award-winning cardiovascular care for decades, we expect this service line to play a key role in our ongoing success as a health care system in the coming years. As we like to do in Las Vegas, UMC is doubling down and betting on the continued growth of our Cardiology and Stroke Center. We’ve made strategic investments in valuable capital improvement projects, revolutionary clinical technology upgrades and enhanced business development initiatives. This includes a large-scale remodel of our cardiovascular care infrastructure, building additional cardiac catheterization laboratories, introducing expanded electrophysiology services, renovating existing labs, developing a hybrid cath/surgical suite and outfitting all of these clinical areas with state-of-the-art equipment. We also continue to focus on building a comprehensive structural heart program.
• Primary Care
  It can be difficult to use PAP therapy during illness, due to nasal congestion, coughing or sneezing.

  If you are having shortness of breath, contact your provider.  If you go to hospital or to urgent care, bring you PAP device with you.
