About Fort Wayne Cardiology | Ft. Wayne, IN Hospital

A History of Growth

Fort Wayne Cardiology was established in 1978 with two cardiologists, one secretary, and one small office. Today we have a much larger, highly trained staff of 22 physicians and more than 175 nurses, medical assistants, technicians, and administrative professionals.

Our growth over the last 30 years, while remarkable, has been controlled and deliberate. We refuse to let a single-minded focus on growth compromise our mission or the quality of care we provide.

In addition to our two Fort Wayne office locations, we provide 24-hour coverage at Lutheran and Parkview hospitals and provide services at 11 clinics in surrounding communities.

A Culture of Care and Innovation

We are proud to offer our patients a combination of cutting-edge thinking, skillful care, and extensive experience. Each year, we average nearly 30,000 office visits and consultations outside the hospital as well as some 30,000 daily hospital visits and consultations. In addition, we average approximately 73,000 tests and procedures annually, from electrocardiograms and stress tests to angiograms and pacemaker implants.

Fort Wayne Cardiology leads the way in local coronary care, combining an impressive track record of innovation with a case volume that continually enhances our expertise.
