World-Class Cardiovascular Care, Close
to Home - St Francis is Mercer County’s Only Comprehensive Cardiac
Program
 The
cardiologists and heart surgeons at The
Heart Hospital work together in the area’s only
comprehensive cardiac program to help prevent and
fight heart disease. These physicians provide quality services, care
and expertise in a cardiac program equipped with the most
advanced procedures unmatched by any other hospital in the
area.
Our top-rated cardiologists and outstanding cardiac surgical team
combine their compassion and skills at The
Heart Hospital at St. Francis—the only
state-recognized Regional Cardiac Center
in Mercer County. The program offers state-of-the-art facilities
and equipment.
Over the past several years, we have invested nearly $10 million
on facility and capital equipment improvements to support the growth
of its cardiac surgery program. From the creation of a second cardiac
catheterization laboratory to meet the demand for increased diagnostic
procedures to the new cardiothoracic care unit (CTCU) for post-surgical
recovery,
The Heart Hospital
offers an impressive, comprehensive range of cardiac treatment
services.
St. Francis is the only hospital in Mercer County with
surgical back-up capabilities on site, where patients
can receive
angioplasty, the recommended best treatment
for heart attack, when minutes can make the difference in survival.
If a major heart artery is blocked, angioplasty reduces the risk
of death and recurrent heart attacks. It has a better success rate
than clot-busting drugs, and, best of all, angioplasty saves heart
muscle.
Our cardiologists provide leading-edge treatments and sophisticated
diagnosis of heart and coronary artery disease in our catheterization
laboratories, where they can immediately evaluate whether patients
will benefit from intervention, such as angioplasty.

Heart Hospital, call 888-655-SFMC.
