Our cardiac patients' diagnoses range from STEMIs, CHF

Vascular surgeries include pre- and post-operative care for
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafts. All 22 rooms have bedside monitors.
Staff is alerted to significant changes in patients' cardiac

equipped with cardiac monitors that allow staff the ability to
intervene early to assess and detect abnormal arrhythmias.
Our patients are unique because they are treated by
multidisciplinary teams of specialists who are trained in
evaluating and diagnosing problems originating from the valves and
coronary vessels all the way to the periphery of the vascular
system.
