CAMC is home to one of the highest volume heart programs in the nation.  The newly hired surgeon will be one of 5 in the Cardiac Division and will be operating at CAMC Memorial, the flagship hospital for cardiovascular medicine in the system.

As a winner of the National Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award, CAMC is nationally recognized for its progressive, innovative practices and quality of care.  Our priority is to provide the best cardiovascular care with a focus on access, growth, network development, excellent provider and patient experience.  CAMC was also recognized by Forbes Magazine for the sixth year in a row as one of American’s Best-In-State Employers. 

Our team of cardiovascular surgeons, cardiologists, electrophysiologists and vascular surgeons have extensive experience treating a wide array of conditions.    Multidisciplinary care is provided via a team approach with surgery, interventional and structural cardiology supported by professionals with advanced cardiac imaging skills in CT, MRI and Echo.

Under the auspices of the CAMC Institute for Academic Medicine, CAMC is a growing academic medical center sponsoring 18 accredited medical residencies and fellowship programs, including fellowships in cardiovascular disease fellowship and interventional cardiology. CAMC is home to two regional medical school campuses.  Adjacent to CAMC Memorial, a new 56,37 3 square foot Center for Learning and Research has recently been completed and houses a 14,000 square foot simulation center and other facilities dedicated to our education and research programs. 

Located within a natural playground of rolling, wooded hills containing the confluence of the Elk and Kanawha rivers, Charleston is the historic state capital and largest city in the state. The area provides an easy getaway to outdoor activities like skiing, boating, and hiking, while the downtown area boasts a well-defined and growing business district with an eclectic brand of shopping, dining, breweries/distilleries, and entertainment.  The city comes together for festivals and art-related events all year long – from summertime free concerts along the riverfront park and minor league professional baseball in the stadium to symphony, opera, ballet, or theater at the modern arts & sciences center.  The downtown Capitol Market is a vibrant year-round indoor-outdoor experience offering seasonal produce, butcher shop, specialty foods, and exquisite wine shopping along with fine dining options.
