In a heartwarming evolution for local healthcare, Outer Banks Health (OBH) is maintaining its dedication to cardiac care by opening a new cardiology practice in May 2025. As Eastern Carolina Cardiovascular (ECC), a pivotal institution for heart health, prepares to close its doors, OBH steps in to ensure continued cardiac support for the community.
A Seamless Transition
Dr. Lindsey White, an influential cardiac care provider, is moving into retirement, but not without leaving a legacy that’s seamlessly embraced by OBH. This transition ensures that ECC’s patients will continue their care journey locally with trusted providers, including Robin Adami, ANP, Kimberly Caesar, PA-C, and Krista Hess, AGACNP-C. Dr. White expressed unwavering confidence in OBH’s capability to uphold the high standards of care that patients have come to expect.
Continuing a Legacy of Care
“Dr. White has built a truly exceptional foundation for cardiac care here in the Outer Banks,” remarked Ronnie Sloan, OBH’s president. The practice’s integration into OBH will not only preserve this legacy but aims to enhance it. The medical office building will undergo significant renovations to provide state-of-the-art facilities, ensuring that patient care is always at the forefront.
Modern Facilities, Old-Fashioned Trust
The cardiology unit is set for a facelift, with a focus on creating a patient-centered environment that prioritizes both privacy and care quality. These changes will be compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, safeguarding all patient records throughout the transition.
Open Hearts, Open Doors
According to Island Free Press, OBH is actively recruiting a full-time, on-site cardiologist to further enhance their dedication to heart health. The community can look forward to consistent, high-quality care, grounded in the traditions established by pioneers like Dr. White.
