Heart Institute of the Caribbean

The Heart Institute of the Caribbean (HIC) is an innovative, dynamic healthcare center that serves as the center of excellence for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), occupational health, diabetes care and general internal medicine in the West Indies. The Heart Institute of the Caribbean is located in Kingston, Jamaica and is the regional center for comprehensive and sophisticated diagnosis and management of all forms of heart diseases. HIC provides expert diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and general medical conditions and consultative opinion locally and also remotely via a network of specialists linked by a global telemedical network. These services were previously not available in Jamaica and the only option for patients in the region was to seek or procure such services in the USA, particularly in Florida.
