Regional Heart Center

St. Luke's Regional Heart Center revolves around people. Our coordinated approach to care has the skilled staff to provide heart care that brings services and technology together.

Comprehensive care

Cardiac care may begin with your primary care physician. Or, you may have come to us through the emergency department where you were taken care of by our skilled doctors, nurses and support professionals. At St. Luke's, cardiologists can explore and maintain you heart's health. Cardiothoracic surgeons stand ready to repair or improved the function of your heart.

Cardiac rehabilitation specialists will help you regain the use of your heart. But our main goal is to keep your heart healthy. We also offer you opportunities to improve or maintain your heart health through a variety of community educational programs, services and support groups. We understand and address the emotional side of your care-everything we do is personalized, respectful and compassionate.

We'll call or meet with you before surgery and an angiogram to let you know what will happen (including the smallest details, such as where to park). It's not the type of attention you would expect from a large cardiac center, but we believe it's the type of attention you deserve. Our cardiac specialty teams have developed one of the most comprehensive heart care programs you'll ever find. It's coordinated, comprehensive cardiac care that puts The Patient. Above All Else.

Dedicated Cardiac Nursing Services

Our expert nurses and clinical nurse specialists work only in critical care, so they are experienced with the specific needs of cardiac patients and their families. They take care of patients, one person at a time, and that's exactly why we call it intensive care. These are the professionals working for you day and night-before, during and after your stay. They answer questions, give comfort and offer a familiar face.

  • Cardiac Critical Care Unit staff with advanced training to handle all types of cardiac emergencies, including postoperative cardiac surgical care, advanced Cardiac Life Support-Certified staff
  • Cardiac Unit with 25 Telemetry Beds

For years now, St. Luke's has enjoyed the reputation as the region's designated trauma center. From the moment you arrive, you're part of a network of care that extends through every necessary specialty, and everyone in that network-nurses, technicians, doctors-is alerted to your arrival. That way, they can anticipate the proper course of care.
