THE HEART HOSPITAL Baylor Plano is pleased to announce the official opening of its second comprehensive outpatient facility – the Center for Advanced Cardiovascular Care (CACC) at McKinney. To mark the occasion, the hospital will host two grand opening events. The first one takes place on January 24 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. for physicians and other health care professionals. The second event targets the general public and is slated for January 31 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. In both instances, attendees can tour the 10,000+ square foot center, including the expansive imaging area, and meet the CACC’s physician leaders, nurses, technologists and administrative staff.
Located on the Baylor Medical Center at McKinney campus in Physician Office Building 1, Suite 4400, the CACC McKinney will offer services similar to its sister facility in Plano. Clinic services in McKinney will include evaluation and treatment plans for congestive heart failure, heart rhythm disorders, and vascular/limb conditions. For patient convenience, a wide range of diagnostic imaging services are available on-site, including but not limited to: general nuclear imaging (pulmonary, organ, and full body scans); cardiac nuclear imaging; advanced CT 3D reconstruction technology; cardiac exercise stress testing; and computed tomography angiography (CT-A).

“One of our goals as a hospital is to provide physicians and patients with every opportunity to obtain accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans, and we’ve found that our outpatient centers provide us with an excellent environment to fulfill this goal,” said Mark Valentine, president of THE HEART HOSPITAL Baylor Plano. “Both of these outpatient centers in Plano and now McKinney allow us to expand our footprint in a highly positive way that is beneficial to patients in Collin County and surrounding areas, as well as provide us new venues to continue to provide safe, quality and compassionate care in the cardiovascular specialty.”
