Senator Robert Singer said the new heart and vascular center will provide residents in Ocean County with access to state-of-the-art facilities designed to treat heart disease.

“The opening of this heart and vascular center in Brick is an incredible achievement and something that was urgently needed,” said Singer (R-30). “Heart disease is the leading cause of death nationwide and we need to do everything we can to make sure that individuals who have this condition receive the best treatment available. This facility will give residents in Ocean County access to top physicians and the most advanced medical technology in the nation.”

Singer attended the grand opening of The Dr. Robert H. and Mary Ellen Harris Heart and Vascular Center on Friday, March 24.

The new heart and vascular center is equipped with three multi-purpose vascular labs and a hybrid operating room, allowing for efficient preparation, treatment, and recovery.

Procedures performed at the facility include, but are not limited to: heart catheterization; angioplasty; stenting; pacemakers; blood clot removal; and repairing and maintaining dialysis access.
