Multidisciplinary Case Management

At California Pacific Medical Center’s Heart Failure and Transplantation Program we are committed to a comprehensive team approach in treating your patient. Whether a patient is awaiting a transplant, having a VAD implanted or in recovery from surgery, sensitive and difficult challenges await—for them and their family. We provide support with our experienced, highly-trained cardiac care team, comprised of:

• cardiologists


• cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons


• nurse coordinators


• dietician


• a nutritionist


• licensed clinical social worker


• psychologist


• financial counselors


• rehabilitation specialists

Patients also benefit from education and support available through the Community Health Resource Center, the Women’s Health Resource Center, the Institute for Health & Healing, and the Center for Patient and Community Education. We believe this multidisciplinary patient care approach leads to high patient satisfaction—and to more successful outcomes. Additionally, we have a comprehensive transplant department, offering services not only for heart, but for liver, kidney and pancreas. The Barry S. Levin, M.D. Department of Transplantation is associated with California Pacific’s Heart and Vascular Center, which offers quality, comprehensive, patient-centered cardiovascular care by a team of experienced physicians integrating leading-edge technology.
