Taking good care of your heart can help reduce your risk of developing heart disease that leads to a heart attack, stroke or other serious complications. Our cardiac care teams provide a range of heart care services - from helping you create a heart-healthy lifestyle to performing potentially lifesaving procedures in emergency situations.
We combine medical technology with a staff of well-trained, caring nurses and technologists. Members of the heart care team are trained in open-heart surgery and critical care nursing. Staff members in supporting departments also receive additional training to meet heart patients' specific needs.
