The Victorian Heart Hospital is an innovative partnership between Monash Health, Monash University, and the Victorian Government. Australia’s first dedicated cardiac hospital integrates clinical cardiology services, research, and education in one place to create a centre of excellence.

Led by Professor Stephen Nicholls, the group visited the Intensive Care Unit, Cardiac Catheterisation Labs including two hybrid labs – the largest and most advanced of their kind, Simulation Training Centre, Biomedical and Engineering Research Laboratories, Health Innovation Centre, Clinical Trials Centre and the Cardiac Emergency Department.

“Through the Victorian Heart Hospital, Institute and new Health Innovation Centre we’re developing a translational ecosystem dedicated to improving health outcomes through innovation,” said Professor Stephen Nicholls, Director of the Victorian Heart Hospital and the Victorian Heart Institute.

“We’re invested in building the profile of cardiovascular research, treatment and training so we can best meet the needs of our community, and all Victorians.”
