There are many possible renditions for this name.
The most formal one is "Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College
Cardiovascular Institute & Fuwai Hospital" just as pointed by Mr. Sun. However, this rendition is a bit different than the source text.
There are still other renditions: Fuwai or Fu Wai Hospital (some informtion is missing); Fuwai Cardiovascular Hospital; Fuwai Heart Hospital; or Fuwai Hospital for Cardiovascular Disease.
None of these renditions are likely to baffle non-Chinese readers, I suppose.

单位或个人名字翻译时要遵循约定成俗的原则，不可逐字照翻，这点往往被初当翻译的人所不了解。阜外心血管病医院在国外都自称是Fuwai Hospital，不有称Fu Wai Hospital for。。。。，或 Fu Wai 。。。Hospital的。Fuwai Hospital就是指阜外心血管病医院。譬如，中国，对外翻译是China，而不是Central Country。还有我对外的名字是Bill，但国内的名字并不就是比尔或比儿。这应该是翻译的基本原则。

或者 Fuwai Heart Hospital

我google了一下，发现“Fu Wai Hospital for Cardiovascular Disease”没有一项相符，“FUWAI CARDIOVACULAR DISEAES HOSPITAL ”只有5项符合，而“Fuwai Hospital”有653项符合，“Fuwai Heart Hospital”有106项符合。

  -> Language refuses rigidity. English, as well as Chinese, is ever changing. Everything is possible, and google is not the gold standard for everything.
