St Vincent

Specialties

The Jack Stephens Heart Institute at St. Vincent offers heart care that is unlike any other. From aggressive diagnostic routines to the latest surgical procedures to heart health education, the Jack Stephens Heart Institute at St. Vincent offers a comprehensive continuum of care.

The Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Health Management Centers offer patients the ability to improve their health through exercise, education and counseling. These programs teach how to change or modify unhealthy habits to increase fitness and/​or reduce risk factors for heart disease.

The Chest Pain Center provides rapid diagnosis and treatment of heart attacks with advanced interventional drugs. Every second counts in a heart attack, and treatment protocols used have lowered «door-​to-​interventional» response times well below the national average.

The Congestive Heart Failure program helps participants improve their quality of life while living with heart failure through outpatient intravenous medication therapy and patient/​family education. Our staff stays in touch by phone to help patients and families make wise choices.

Unlike heart-​only hospitals, St. Vincent treats the heart and the whole body. Many heart patients have other health issues — like diabetes, cancer or respiratory problems — and the St. Vincent team is uniquely skilled to provide comprehensive, integrated care.
