The Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital is located right in the center of The Ohio State University in Columbus,Ohio. This hopital is ranked number 20 in the nations best heart program. This hospital is greatly known for specializing in cardiology. Care is provided to those that have a cardiovascular disease and a peripheral vascular disease. The hospital was the first to perform the robotic procedure in the country. This procedure allows surgeons to perform on patients not hands on, but by using computerized hands that work for them.

Design
The Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital was designed to meet the care of their patients. The hospital has four levels all around a total of 225,000 square feet. Knowing that when treating someone with a heart condition is very risky the design of the hospital had to be perfect. It has 20 exam rooms, six operating rooms with video-conferencing capabilities, six catheterization/intervention and electrophysiology labs, six echocardiography labs, two echo stress test suites, four noninvasive vascular labs, three nuclear stress labs, a cardiovascular CT, a cardiac MR, a cardiac device implant lab, and a transesophageal echo lab all designed for quick access to the patient.

Recent Construction
The hospital recently added two new floors above the existing hospital. The new floors include 60 private criticalcare patient rooms, 30 of those rooms for electrophysiology andarrhythmia management, and 30 for management of patients in heart failure. The construction made in neccessary to build five active elevators and also adding one oversized patient transport elevator.

Procedures
The hospital provides procedures that include •Cardiac catheterizations •Angioplasties •Open-heart surgery •Cardiovascular imaging •Vascular interventions •Minimally invasive robotic procedures •Full range of testing and laboratory services for diagnosing cardiovascular disease
