University Medical Center (UMC), the county-owned Hospital, continues its cardiology services with the Nevada Heart and Vascular Center, a premier cardiovascular group with multiple locations around Southern Nevada and over thirty physicians on staff.  Physicians of South Asian origin, mostly Indian-American though, own close to 40% of the Nevada Heart and Vascular.
