Our model is an integrated one, where teams engage around your child’s individual diagnosis and medical needs. In Florida, the Nemours Cardiac Center isn’t one physical place — it’s a connected network of cardiology experts across the state, because we believe home is where healing happens.
From diagnosing fetal heart problems to managing heart disease in adolescents, Nemours Cardiac Center in Florida offers general and highly specialized pediatric cardiology services, advanced diagnostics and inpatient cardiac critical care with a family-centered approach.
Family-Centered Cardiac Care
Although our team may know your child’s heart, you know your child best. That’s why we focus on delivering family-centered care. No matter where our care happens, you are an active participant in the decision-making and we make certain you understand exactly what’s going on at all times.
Family-centered care means we’ll take the time to:
- explain the diagnosis and treatment in understandable terms
- present all of the options
- invite your family’s input for creating the right treatment plan for your child
- encourage you to stay by your child’s side as much as possible
- make sure your questions are answered and your fears and concerns are addressed
Throughout your family’s journey with your child’s heart condition, we do everything in our power to give your child the very best, most compassionate care possible. We’ll be there to help your child and your family every step of the way.

Specialty Heart Care Just for Kids. Because Nemours is dedicated exclusively to the care of children, our heart specialists understand how children develop physically, emotionally and socially — and all of our resources and initiatives are dedicated solely to helping kids reach their full potential.
