Cardiovascular Center to Bear Name of Beloved Physician

In December 2022, the current cardiopulmonary patient rehab space at Miami Valley Hospital will be relocated to Miami Valley Hospital South in Centerville to create the Dr. Mukul S. Chandra Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Disease Prevention and Rehabilitation Center. This new facility will be named after Mukul S. Chandra, MD, who served as medical director of cardiac preventive care and research at Miami Valley Hospital; founded HeartWorks, a convenient, affordable, and comprehensive facility that evaluates heart attack risk factors; and was an assistant clinical professor at Wright State University.

Miami Valley Hospital Foundation is conducting a fundraising campaign to cover the costs of this project. The Dr. Mukul S. Chandra Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Disease Prevention and Rehabilitation Center will offer both preventive and rehabilitative cardiac and pulmonary programming. The new center will honor Dr. Chandra’s legacy and the patients he loved. 

We Need Your Help!

Miami Valley Hospital Foundation has committed to raising $500,000 for this project. Gifts will support renovation initiatives that will provide a larger workout area, additional exercise equipment, new technology, updated locker rooms, convenient access for patients with handicap accessibility, and ample parking spots adjacent to the facility. Gifts made to the foundation will also allow for future expansion of the rehab program and education for our community.

To support this new facility or to learn more, please visit mvhfoundation.org or contact Anne McDevitt, director of development at Miami Valley Hospital Foundation, at ammcdevitt@premierhealth.com.
