A/Prof Stephan Foy is a graduate of University of Otago and completed his coronary interventional fellowship at Royal Perth Hospital, WA.
His first consultant engagement was at Launceston General Hospital, Tasmania, where Stephan set up Tasmania’s first Cardiac Cath Lab outside of Hobart. This resulted in implementing a diagnostic cardiac catheterisation and pacemaker implant service.
Stephan moved to Geelong in late 1997, where he established Heart Centre St John of God, a private cardiology practice in which he remains a practice principal.
He was instrumental in instituting the cardiac services at St John of God Geelong Hospital. Stephan was the key advisor for development of the hospital’s Cardiac Catheter Labs and Cardiac Care Unit. His association with Geelong-based cardiac surgeons was vital to SJGGH developing its cardiac surgery programme, with the first cardiac operation in a Victoria state regional centre performed in 2017.
