Victorian Heart Hospital
The Victorian Heart Hospital (VHH), the first hospital dedicated to heart health in the Southern Hemisphere, officially opened in February 2023. A $577 million joint initiative with the Victorian Government and Monash Health, the hospital will play a leading role in training Australia’s future cardiac care medicine, nursing and allied health professionals, with more than 300 undergraduate students, 260 postgraduate students and 20 PhD students undertaking training at the VHH, close to clinicians, practitioners and patients.
The VHH hosts the Monash Victorian Heart Institute (VHI) on a dedicated floor, bringing together world-leading cardiovascular experts, multidisciplinary researchers, students and entrepreneurs focused on taking discoveries, techniques and therapies out of the lab and into practice.
The VHH plays a significant role within the expanding Monash Technology Precinct, integrating clinical and scientific resources and expertise, accelerating the development of new devices and therapies, improving patient care and strengthening Victoria’s growing medical technology and pharmaceutical industries.
