Porter Expands Local Cardiology Services with New Provider and Facilities

MIDDLEBURY--The Porter Hospital Cardiology practice will be significantly expanded both in terms of clinical hours and specific outpatient services with the arrival of Dr. Sanjay Bose in September.

In addition to his board certification in general cardiology, Dr. Bose is board eligible in Interventional Cardiology and has completed three years as a Cardiology Fellow with extensive experience covering the full spectrum of clinical cardiology.

“We are extremely excited to welcome Dr. Bose to our community, as well as grateful for the opportunity to offer a full-time/full-service cardiology program for our local patients and in support of the work of our primary care physicians,” said Porter cardiologist Dr. Andrea Fossati. “Dr. Bose will be seeing patients here in our Porter campus office four days each week, and also working one day each week up at Fletcher Allen in the cardiac catheterization lab with our patients.” According to Dr. Fossati, Dr. Bose will bring to Porter Hospital new expertise and the ability to perform both non-invasive and invasive cardiology services that our current Porter Cardiology practice does not offer. “This will be tremendously convenient for our local patients,” she added.

Dr. Bose, a resident of Shelburne, Vermont, has completed cardiology fellowships at New York Methodist Hospital, Texas Tech University Health Systems and Norwalk Hospital in Connecticut (an affiliate of Yale University School of Medicine). Prior to coming to Vermont, Dr. Bose was the Director of Echocardiography, Exercise Stress & Holter Labs and the Sleep Lab at Hardin County General Hospital in Illinois.

In anticipation of Dr. Bose’s arrival at Porter in mid-September, the hospital is in the midst of completing a renovation project to expand and improve its entire rehabilitation department, including new space for cardiac testing.

Information about these new services and appointments can be made by calling Porter Cardiology at 382-3443.
