Women's acute cardiac care

Our team is trained in providing inpatient cardiovascular services designed for a woman’s unique physiology, in the only hospital in San Diego with a dedicated women’s acute cardiac care unit located within a women’s-only hospital — Sharp Grossmont Hospital for Women & Newborns. Your patients can benefit from recovering in a healing and nurturing environment, cared for by nurses trained in women’s heart issues.

Postpartum Heart Health Clinic

In addition to caring for women's hearts while in the hospital, we also offer outpatient services, such as our Postpartum Heart Health Clinic. The clinic is located within the Burr Heart & Lung Clinic and supports women experiencing high blood pressure and other cardiovascular complications after pregnancy. The clinic's expert team provides education and counseling on nutrition, lifestyle changes, and how to monitor blood pressure at home.
