Advanced Cardiac Care

When the Steve and Krista Howard Heart and Vascular Center opened, South Florida Baptist answered our community's need for better heart care in Plant City. Our heart and vascular center is the first of its kind in our area - offering state-of-the-art diagnostic services, including diagnostic heart catheterization and interventional heart and vascular procedures.
