The Art of Cardiovascular Care and Recovery

At Salude, our patients receive comprehensive cardiovascular care in our state-of-the-art facility, helping them to recover from or manage cardiovascular issues safely and quickly. As a transitional care and physical recovery center, we combine clinical excellence with beautiful surroundings as a way to enhance the health and wellness of every patient. Our quality, coordinated transitional care allows patients to smoothly transfer back home to their busy and active lives.

Exclusive “Transitionist” Care Model

Our “transitionist” model utilizes our full-time physician CEO to lead the clinical program. As a part of this model, we have nurse practitioners, internists and a physiatrist (rehabilitation physician) available up to 7 days a week.

We are different from other recovery centers in that our care services aren’t just limited to within our four walls. We have nurse practitioners in our community available for patient home visits as needed after they are discharged home from Salude and until they are safely bridged to their own specialty and primary care physicians.
