Pediatric Cardiovascular Clinical Expertise Our clinic in Orange delivers expert clinical care in a warm, caring environment for all children with known or suspected heart disease — beginning with prenatal care, continuing through infancy, childhood and adolescence, then transitioning into adulthood. Blending complete cardiovascular care with strong education programs means better healthcare outcomes for today’s children. Along with our comprehensive outpatient services, we provide inpatient care in the UCI NICU, Children’s Health of Orange County — which has a dedicated cardiovascular intensive care unit — and other hospitals in surrounding communities. Many of the division’s faculty are actively engaged in research on a range of pediatric cardiology conditions, developing new treatments and tools to improve the care of pediatric cardiology patients in Orange County and beyond.
