FCMC Announces Changes to Cardiology Services

Floyd County Medical Center (FCMC) is making changes to their cardiac services.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

FCMC says Mayo Clinic Cardiology will no longer be providing cardiac services in Charles City. Mayo leadership in Rochester made the decision to end the outreach service citing multiple physician retirements and staffing constraints. FCMC says it will now provide increased cardiology services by Mercy Heart cardiologists as of August 31, 2022.                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Valerie Pickar, Director of Cardiology Services, will continue to lead the cardiac care administered at FCMC and said in a statement, “We have excellent physician options for patients to choose from with our enhanced affiliation with Mercy Heart cardiologists. We want to continue to serve your cardiology needs and will work with you to ensure a smooth transition.”

Chief Executive Officer Dawnett Willis added, “We are pleased in knowing our patients will continue to have access to high-quality cardiology care following this transition. We will be very active in this transition and support our patients in choosing the best cardiac care for their situations.” 

Patients who choose to continue to receive cardiac care at FCMC in from Mercy Heart cardiologists can make an appointment or get more information by calling 641-257-4346.
