You can take comfort in the fact that Christian Hospital is known for providing high-quality heart and vascular care close to home. We continue to be an innovative and experienced leader by offering a team approach that puts you at the center of care and concern.
It is not only about saving your life during a heart attack or about getting you back on your feet afterward, it is also about preventing heart problems in the first place. We offer many screening opportunities through our community programs to determine if you’re at risk for a heart attack, and how to prevent it.
