Dr. Morgan embraces a patient-centered approach to delivering a comprehensive cardiac and vascular program in Nevada.
Renown Health is excited to announce that Dr. Jayson Morgan has been promoted to serve as Director of the Cardiovascular Services. El Dr. Morgan, quien anteriormente se desempeñaba como jefe de la División de Cardiología, comenzó en su nuevo puesto en septiembre de 6. Dr. Morgan plays a key role in supporting clinical and administrative leaders to embrace a patient-centered approach in delivering the most effective, highest-quality care within the Institute for Heart and Vascular Health and across Renown Health. Dr. Morgan will expand care, enhance clinical outcomes and transform cardiovascular health care through adopting technological advances which promote patient-centered health care that is both convenient and affordable.
“At Renown, delivering the highest quality care is our #1 priority. Embracing our vision to improve the health of Nevadans, we are pleased to promote an extraordinary physician like Dr. Morgan to lead and further develop cardiovascular services - and elevate and grow this important Destination Health program to serve the growing needs of our community,” said Tony Slonim, MD, D.Ph., President and CEO, Renown Health. “Unfortunately, Heart Disease continues to be the #1 cause of death in Washoe County, the state and the nation. Dr. Morgan and his team focus on saving lives and reducing the number of people needing heart and vascular interventions. He embodies our core values of caring, integrity, collaboration and excellence, and respect for all, and we are pleased to have Dr. Morgan at the helm of our cardiovascular program.”
Dr. Jayson Morgan is a highly accomplished physician leader. He served as both an Internal Medicine Hospitalist and an Internal Medicine resident at UCSF Health in San Francisco, where he specialized in the care of advanced heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and heart transplant patients. Completó su beca en cardiología en el Cedars-Sinai Medical Center en Beverly Hills, California en 2017 e inmediatamente después se unió a Renown. En 2019, se desempeñó como director del laboratorio de ecocardiografía en Renown. En 2020, fue ascendido a jefe de la División de Cardiología.
“The experts at Renown’s Institute for Heart and Vascular Health provide an integrated, multi-disciplinary, patient-centered approach to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart and vascular disease. I am proud to have Dr. Jayson Morgan leading a team of experts who respond to and treat heart and vascular problems that extend from mild to the most critical of emergencies. Our specialized physicians (cardiologists, interventional radiologists, heart and vascular surgeons) work collaboratively with our clinical team to determine the best treatment plan for each patient,” says Rahul Mediwala, MD, Medical Director, Health Services.
“High blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke affect one in three Nevada residents. Estas enfermedades son prevenibles y muchos eventos agudos pueden evitarse si se llevan estilos de vida saludables, que incluyen no consumir tabaco, limitar el sodio y adoptar una dieta a base de vegetales, realizar al menos 30 minutos de actividad física por día, limitar o eliminar el consumo de alcohol y seguir los regímenes de medicamentos recetados. Together, we can make a genuine difference in improving the health of our families, friends and neighbors,” says Jayson Morgan, MD, FACC, Director, Cardiovascular Services. “We are pleased to offer a medically supervised, Pritikin-certified, intensive cardiac rehabilitation (ICR) program for those with heart disease. Our expert team creates tailored plans, providing the support heart patients need to make lasting lifestyle changes.”
El Dr. Morgan continúa: “Renown ahora cuenta con 3 cirujanos cardíacos, 17 cardiólogos y 16 proveedores de práctica avanzada que brindan una excelente atención cardiovascular. Nuestras capacidades técnicas se han expandido con un Programa de Tratamiento de Enfermedad Cardíaca Estructural que incluye reemplazo de válvula aórtica transcatéter (trans catheter aortic valve replacement, TAVR), reparaciones de la válvula mitral transcatéter (Mitraclip), cierres de agujero oval persistente y cierres de defecto del tabique auricular; con más de 100 procedimientos cardíacos estructurales realizados cada año. Our Cardiothoracic surgeons are the highest volume in the region and consistently exceed national performance standards for operative care. Renown Regional Medical Center was the first hospital in the region to implant the CardioMEMS pulmonary artery pressure monitoring system for advanced heart failure patients, dramatically reducing hospitalizations in these patients. Three interventional cardiologists have joined our team which has expanded our capacity to handle interventions for complex coronary artery disease. Los tres electrofisiólogos de Renown han realizado más de 1000 procedimientos este año, lo cual ha disminuido drásticamente la carga sintomática de la fibrilación auricular en nuestra comunidad. In addition, with the UNR Medical School affiliation, we look forward to even greater contributions to cardiovascular research.”
Dr. Morgan graduated from Stanford University School of Medicine and graduated from Yale University with his undergraduate education in Chemical Engineering.
“I am excited to continue to help patients enhance their health and well-being,” said Dr. Morgan. “I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the great progress that Renown Health is making in becoming the best place to practice medicine and to receive care. I am excited to advance our journey of transformation to value-based care, and to serve patients, clinicians and the community.”
