KINGSTON, N.Y. (June 18, 2018) — The Heart & Vascular Institute of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth) has a new office location at network affiliate HealthAlliance Hospital: Mary's Avenue Campus, welcoming longtime Kingston cardiologists Ellis W. Lader, MD, and Aneta D. Dimova, MD, to the Institute's team.

The Heart & Vascular Institute now occupies the offices of the former Mid-Valley Cardiology practice, at 111 Mary's Ave. in Kingston, on the Mary's Avenue Campus, providing a seamless transition for patients previously cared for by Drs. Lader and Dimova at the same location. Drs. Lader and Dimova practiced at Mid-Valley Cardiology for more than 20 years.

Drs. Lader and Dimova see adult patients in Kingston for a wide range of conditions, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart valve disease, coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndrome, angina, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, valvular heart disease and congenital heart disease.

Patients also benefit from access to a broad range of advanced cardiovascular services, and many other disciplines, at WMCHealth's flagship Westchester Medical Center and at Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, another member of WMCHealth.

"We are pleased to welcome the expertise of Drs. Lader and Dimova to WMCHealth's Heart & Vascular Institute," said Julio A. Panza, MD, Chief of Cardiology at WMCHealth. "Kingston-area patients now have access to the broadest possible range of solutions from a team of world-class physicians, supported by some of the most highly skilled and experienced nurses and technicians in the region. WMCHealth's Heart & Vascular Institute is committed to providing the highest-quality comprehensive cardiovascular care and expertise to residents of the Hudson Valley, close to home, in the communities where they live."

Dr. Lader received his medical degree from New York University School of Medicine and completed an internship and residency training in internal medicine at the State University of New York at Buffalo. He followed his residency with a clinical and research fellowship in cardiovascular medicine at NYU Medical Center, now NYU Langone Medical Center.

He remains active in clinical research, publishing numerous articles in medical journals, and is an adjunct assistant professor of clinical medicine at NYU School of Medicine and an adjunct clinical associate professor of cardiology at the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Dr. Lader is board certified in cardiovascular disease, critical care medicine and internal medicine. He has practiced in Kingston since 1983 and lives in Hurley.

Dr. Dimova earned her medical degree from the medical school of Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Macedonia, in southeastern Europe, and completed an internship and residency training in general surgery at the school's University Hospitals.

She then completed three additional residencies -- in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery at the Texas Heart Institute, the cardiology and heart surgery center at Houston's Texas Medical Center; in anesthesiology at the University of Louisville (Ky.) School of Medicine's University Hospital; and in internal medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine's Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia. This was followed by a fellowship in cardiovascular disease at Hahnemann.

Dr. Dimova is board certified in cardiovascular disease and nuclear cardiology. She has practiced in Kingston since 1996 and lives in Kingston.

Drs. Lader and Dimova see patients at the new offices of WMCHealth's Heart & Vascular Institute, 111 Mary's Ave., Suite 3, in Kingston. The office phone number is 845.339.3663.
