 When people think about cardiovascular disease, they usually think of a heart attack. In reality, the disease comes in many forms from leg pain and fatigue, to heart attack and stroke.
Studies show that up to 75% of patients with peripheral disease of the arms and legs also have coronary heart disease. People who have both diseases are five times more likely to die from a cardiac event. Award-winning care
The Heart and Vascular Institute at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett is one of the largest, most advanced cardiovascular programs in Northwest Washington. For seven years running, our cardiovascular services have been recognized with quality national awards. Collaborative philosophy
Our philosophy is to create partnerships between primary care physicians, heart and vascular specialists, hospital staff and most importantly, with our patients. Because we are so conveniently located, many of our patients find that family and friends can easily visit during their hospital stay. Clinical Outcomes Assessment Program
The Clinical Outcomes Assessment Program (COAP) is a physician-led initiative designed to improve the quality of care for heart disease patients in Washington state hospitals. Providence Regional Medical Center Everett is out-performing the statewide average in many areas of cardiac care. COAP data is now publicly available for key clinical measures for cardiac procedures, such as coronary artery bypass surgery. Visit the COAP website to see detailed hospital performance information.
Innovative approach
We have several innovations and advances in our care that make us unique. Our Cardiac Surgery Single Stay Unit is the first of its kind in Washington. This new approach encompasses care around a you and your family for the entire hospital stay. The unit allows open heart and major vascular surgery patients to recover after surgery in one comprehensive care room, rather than the traditional approach of moving from a critical care bed to a step-down unit. We believe patients receive better care and are more comfortable because the health care team remains consistent and family members are able to take an active role in their loved one’s recovery. State-of-the-art
We also have state-of-the-art interventional radiology and cardiology suites that significantly increase the safety and efficiency of catheter-based procedures. Our interventional recovery unit provides privacy and technology equivalent to a traditional hospital room for patients having same-day discharge procedures only.
