Meet our new Heart & Vascular Center.

We are pleased to share that, thanks to donor support, Huntington Hospital’s new Helen and Will Webster Heart & Vascular Center opened its doors in August 2021.
Our new Heart & Vascular Center is the most comprehensive and innovative facility for cardiac care in the San Gabriel Valley. It offers a full spectrum of cardiology services — including screening and diagnostic tests, advanced medical and surgical treatments, and cardiac rehabilitation and education programs — all under one roof. By offering related cardiac services in one centralized location, we have streamlined the care experience for patients.
The modern and well-equipped center features:
• Two catheterization suites outfitted with the latest imaging technology, enabling us to provide prompt, high-quality treatment to patients with potentially life-threatening heart problems.
• An innovative catheterization and surgical hybrid suite that allows us to efficiently perform both minimally invasive procedures and traditional surgical intervention in one place.
• A high-tech electrophysiology suite in which we can evaluate the heart’s electrical system and diagnose arrhythmias.
• Six suites designed to accommodate a wide range of tests — including electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, treadmill stress tests and more — to help us diagnose complex heart conditions.
• Eight private patient care rooms where our team can prepare and closely monitor patients.
Located directly above our Nan and Howard Schow Emergency & Trauma Center, our new Heart & Vascular Center can be accessed by a fast one-minute elevator ride. This ensures patients in need of immediate treatment receive vital care as quickly as possible — helping to save lives. The new and larger space will also allow our hospital to increase the number of patients treated by 30%, so that we can heal more hearts.

Our medical director of cardiology, Azhil (Alex) Durairaj, MD, is deeply grateful for the community philanthropists who invested in the creation of our new Helen and Will Webster Heart & Vascular Center.
