Concord Hospital Cardiovascular Institute Welcomes Three New Providers

“Adding three providers with such complementary backgrounds strengthens our ability to care for patients throughout their cardiovascular journey,” said Somer Andrews, the Cardiovascular Institute and Specialty Practices Administrative Director for Concord Hospital Health System (CHHS), according to a report from concordhospital.org.

The Concord Hospital Cardiovascular Institute has expanded its clinical team with the addition of three new providers, bringing new expertise to cardiovascular care across the entire health system.

The new team members include cardiac electrophysiologist Jeanwoo Yoo, DO, along with nurse practitioners Abigail “Abby” Blake, MSN, APRN, AGNP-C, and Steven King, APRN.

Dr. Jeanwoo Yoo joins the institute to focus on cardiac electrophysiology, a subspecialty dedicated to diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders.

Dr. Yoo completed a clinical cardiac electrophysiology fellowship at Mayo Clinic Florida. He previously served as the chief cardiology fellow during his cardiovascular disease fellowship at Albany Medical Center.

His medical training includes an internal medicine residency at Stony Brook University Hospital and a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Dr. Yoo’s clinical research has centered on atrial fibrillation and flutter, as well as cardiac ablation. He has presented his findings at national professional gatherings, including the American College of Cardiology and the Heart Rhythm Society.

Abigail Blake joins the team with a background in managing complex medical conditions, including heart failure, coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, valvular disease, and cardiomyopathies.

Before joining the Cardiovascular Institute, Blake served as a cardiovascular medicine nurse practitioner at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center & Clinics. In that role, she provided outpatient follow-up, chronic disease management, and inpatient cardiology consultations, while also overseeing cardiac nuclear stress testing.

Her previous experience includes working as a registered nurse in medical-surgical settings, post-cardiothoracic surgical units, and in both electrophysiology and cardiac catheterization labs. She holds a Master of Science in Nursing as an adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner from Russell Sage College.

Steven King brings more than ten years of nursing experience to the institute, with a specific focus on emergency, telemetry, and cardiovascular procedural care.

Most recently, King worked in the emergency setting and the cardiac catheterization laboratory at Exeter Hospital. His duties there included performing advanced cardiovascular procedures such as cardioversion, pacemaker and defibrillator procedures, and cardiac catheterization.

King’s earlier career included time at Anna Jaques Hospital, where he managed acute conditions including trauma, stroke, cardiac arrest, and other critical cases. He earned his Master of Science in Nursing, focusing on adult-gerontology acute care, from Saint Joseph’s College of Maine in 2024.

He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions and a bachelor’s degree in physical education and athletic training from Plymouth State University.

The arrival of these three providers allows the Concord Hospital Cardiovascular Institute to offer a broader spectrum of services, ranging from highly specialized rhythm management to acute procedural intervention and long-term chronic disease oversight.

“Dr. Yoo brings highly specialized expertise in electrophysiology, while Abby and Steven bring strong clinical experience caring for patients with cardiovascular disease in a variety of settings,” Andrews said.

The institute continues to operate as a comprehensive center for diagnosing, treating, and managing various cardiovascular conditions through its integrated care teams.
