Our approach to heart care is highly personalized, and we always put our patients first. Our expert cardiologists work with you to design a treatment plan that fits your needs and helps you achieve your best long-term health. Your heart team is there to support you and your family throughout your care and recovery, because we know that the best and most effective treatment involves the people you love.

At Providence, we take a team-based approach to treating your heart. You’re cared for by world-class heart care specialists who have superior success rates with treating complex conditions such as coronary artery disease, valve disease and heart failure. We are the only health system of our size that holds system-wide provider meetings to discuss key issues that impact the lives of our heart patients. Our board-certified cardiologists and surgeons work closely with a comprehensive support team that aims to get you feeling better and developing smart heart habits. This team might include nurse navigators to help you understand the underlying causes of heart disease, nutritionists and dietitians to help you make heart-healthy food choices, and physical therapists to help you keep living life to its fullest.

We understand that the impact of heart disease is greater in marginalized communities. Genetics plays a part, but unequal access to great health care is also a factor. At Providence, we respect and support the racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual and spiritual identities of each of our patients. We are deeply committed to making sure everyone in our diverse communities has equal access to the best heart care. To do this, we offer location-specific services that help meet our patients’ needs. This includes translation for non-English-speaking patients, telehealth and transportation assistance. And we never turn a patient away, regardless of their ability to pay. Instead, we work harder to make sure every patient is treated equally and with dignity – whoever you are, and wherever you’re at.

As a patient at Providence, you belong to one of the largest community-based networks for heart care in the United States. This shared network includes award-winning physicians, scientists, researchers and caregivers across 51 hospitals in seven states. The power of this network, combined with the expertise of your local team, means you’re getting the best, most compassionate care. Our network is one of the reasons 400,000 patients like you choose Providence for their heart care every year.

Providence is proud to be a leader in the advancement of cardiac and vascular therapies. Our researchers were the first to pioneer emergency surgery to repair heart arteries when treating a patient having a heart attack. This has helped change the way heart attacks are treated around the world – it’s now much less invasive. We also participate in national cardiovascular data registries to continually improve outcomes and patient care. Every day, our doctors and scientists learn more about preventing and treating heart disease. This translates to better care – and a better life – for you and your loved ones.

Every Heart Condition, Expertly Treated

At Providence, our cardiovascular experts use the most effective therapies to treat a wide range of heart conditions. If you need a highly advanced treatment, your physician will refer you to the best Providence location to get the care you need.

Personalized Treatment for Your Heart Condition

We offer a wide range of treatment options for our heart patients, including the most advanced therapies and a number of clinical trials for participation. But your heart care begins well before treatment. As a new heart patient, you’re taken care of as soon as you walk through our doors. Your heart care team will work with you to design an individualized care plan for your diagnosis and needs, including important heart-healthy lifestyle changes.
