OUR TEAM

Management and Core Staff at the Center

Peter Emilio Zambito, MD, FACC

Medical Director

As a Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist, Dr. Zambito is no stranger to the life saving and life-extending nature of cardiac care. He writes about one of his early life experiences that drew him to these medical specialties on his biography page.
As the Medical Director of the Center that bears his name, Dr. Zambito sets a demanding vision and oversees all aspects of medical care. “I decided early on that the Center would strive to be a gold standard of family-oriented cardiac care. We provide hospital-quality services in a local facility that caters to the communities we serve. We are very proud of what we have been able to accomplish and look forward to continuing to build on this success”.
