About the Division
The Division of Cardiology is dedicated to excellence in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases providing high-quality, comprehensive cardiovascular services to the community with a continuous commitment to education and research.
Welcome from Our Division Director
On behalf of our faculty, fellows, and staff, I would like to welcome you to the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC). As the only academic and tertiary referral medical center in Mississippi, University Heart has long provided care for the sickest cardiac patients in a state with one of the highest levels of cardiovascular disease and mortality in our country.

"Being part of UMMC faculty has been an amazing experience. Along with its strong cardiovascular team, UMMC helps us pursue excellence in clinical and translational research. Additionally, with the support of the developed residency and fellowship program, and being the only transplant center in the state, we are uniquely positioned to implement emerging drug- and device-based therapies for the management of all subtypes of heart failure, including patients with reduced and preserved ejection fraction, cardiogenic shock, high risk coronary and structural heart disease, ventricular assist devices, and heart transplantation to our population."
