Pediatric Cardiology Center of Oregon Now Offers Cardiac MRI
Portland, OR (PRWEB) September 16, 2013 -- Pediatric Cardiology Center of Oregon (PCCO) is pleased to announce the addition of Andrew W. Hoyer, MD to its group of physicians. Dr. Hoyer brings his expertise of cardiac MRI to PCCO, something not previously offered at the center.
This addition to PCCO's services will not only bring another invaluable diagnostic tool to the Legacy campus, but streamlines care by eliminating the need to send patients across town to another facility.
Adding Dr. Hoyer, and his specialty in cardiac MRI, to the team of pediatric cardiologists at PCCO greatly enhances the facility's ability to provide exceptional health care at both their new location on the Eastside and their Westside location.
The Eastside clinic is located on the campus of Legacy Emanuel’s new Randall Children’s Hospital, dedicated to a multitude of pediatric specialties for support of children and their families. The Westside clinic is located at the St. Vincent Medical Center, part of Providence Health & Services in Oregon, a not-for-profit network of hospitals, health plans, and affiliated health services.
