Florida Hospital announces the opening of the Heart Success Center, a multidisciplinary practice for heart failure patients designed to improve care, reduce hospital readmissions and lower health care costs.

Insured patients will have access to physicians, case managers, palliative care, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, nutritionists and transitional care nurses at a single location at Florida Hospital Orlando’s Health Village campus.

Patients can be seen the day after they are released from an acute-care facility, in urgent-care situations requiring triage of heart failure symptoms, and on an as-needed basis. The services will not take the place of primary care or primary cardiology care, and will be provided in conjunction with patients’ health care providers.

The Heart Success Center is located in the Florida Hospital Orlando Medical Plaza Building, 2501 N. Orange Ave., Suite 542.

While the Heart Success Center is for insured patients, Florida Hospital also provides options for the uninsured. The Trina Hidalgo Heart Care Center has been providing free care and medication to those suffering from cardiovascular disease for 10 years.
