Cardiac



You want to keep your heart healthy and, if there are problems, you and your loved ones want your heart to be healed. We can help with both.

Diagnostic services
  • You get accurate results, experienced technicians and convenience with our full array of diagnostic tests for evaluating heart conditions including electrocardiograms (EKGs), echocardiography, cardiac stress testing and nuclear cardiology.
  • Our cardiac catheterization laboratory for low-risk patients produces exceptionally clear images to provide your doctor with the most complete information. Our caring staff makes sure you are relaxed and informed.
  • Cardiac scoring using a CT scanner reveals calcium deposits that, like cholesterol, may also clog arteries.
Emergency services
  • If you're having a heart attack, you want advanced, aggressive care delivered as quickly as possible. Our emergency department is staffed with physicians and nurses trained in urgent cardiac care that includes new medications that can stop a heart attack in its tracks.
  • The Emergency Department includes specially equipped cardiac/trauma rooms so your physicians and nurses always have, at their fingertips, the technology and medications they need to treat you.
Critical cardiac care
  • If you or a loved one need intensive care and monitoring you can count on receiving one-on-one care from our intensive-care nurses and physicians in a dedicated intensive care unit.
Extra peace of mind
If you or a loved one does need critical care, you'll have peace of mind knowing that our intensive care unit is headed by an intensivist, a physician specializing in critical care.
  • An intensivist is board certified in surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics or anesthesiology with additional training and board certification in critical care.
  • Intensivists function as primary care doctors or consultants.
  • Intensivists specialize in total patient care and understand the effects of treatment on each organ system.
  • Studies have shown that a full-time intensivist can have a significantly positive impact on patient survival rates, especially after high-risk surgeries.
  • Only about third of hospital critical care units are staffed with an intensivist.
