About
Hi, I’m Dr. Stephanie A. Moore
A cardiologist who thrives on solving hard problems for patients with advanced heart disease, and on building the teams that care for them.
By day I am a cardiologist in clinic and ICU units, solving tough problems for patients with advanced heart disease and building successful cardiac teams.
Over the years I have embraced data-driven decision making to get the best outcomes for hospital programs, and evidence-based medicine to build strong cardiology service lines. After more than 25 years, it is my turn to pay it forward, and to help join the fight to prevent health decline through everyday principles for everyday people.
When I am not working, you will find me traveling the United States with my friends and family, cheering on hockey teams, or honing my gardening skills. Life is too short not to smell the peonies, my favorite flower.
When treating heart disease, failure is not an option.
Her personal mottoProfessional biography
A whole-person approach to cardiac care
Dr. Stephanie A. Moore is a triple board-certified cardiologist specializing in advanced heart failure, cardiac transplantation and mechanical circulatory support. With more than two decades of experience at leading academic institutions, she has dedicated her career to caring for patients with complex heart conditions, while emphasizing that preventive medicine and overall wellbeing are foundational to lifelong cardiovascular health.
Dr. Moore believes that preventing the progression of heart disease, and empowering patients to thrive through healthy lifestyle choices, is as critical as treating advanced stages of illness. She integrates evidence-based prevention into every patient encounter, focusing on nutrition, physical activity, stress management, smoking cessation and comprehensive risk-factor control. That proactive approach matters most for patients with early-stage heart failure, post-transplant recipients, and those at high risk because of other conditions.
Her commitment extends beyond the clinic. She has championed community education on heart health, led initiatives to combat food insecurity and promote dietary wellness among Veterans, and has been a longstanding advocate with the American Heart Association for awareness of women’s heart health and preventive care.
Since 2017 she has been a sought-after consultant for cardiovascular and advanced heart failure programs that want to build or expand a service line into a regional or national center of excellence. She is focused on helping teams deliver quality care for complex patients with fiscal responsibility for the enterprise. Every health system is unique, and every project has a different path to excellence.
She currently serves as Medical Director of the Heart Transplant Program at Jewish Hospital, University of Louisville, and as a physician with the Robley Rex VA Medical Center in Louisville. She brings a holistic, patient-centered philosophy to her practice, treating the whole person and not just the disease.
