Midwest Vascular Institute
Since 1993, Midwest Vascular Institute, a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses and other professionals, have been dedicated to delivering outstanding care to patients at Hopedale Medical Complex.
HMC was one of the first hospitals in the United States to establish an arteriography suite in the operating room. This allows a combination of stenting and open surgical procedures to be done simultaneously, saving patients time and money.
The Board Certified vascular surgeons at HMC pride themselves in providing patients with the latest technology and choosing the right approach for each individual.
