Saint John's phenomenal success in treating patients with cardiac disease can be attributed to multiple factors. The Heart Program's high quality, dedicated nurses, physicians and technicians are the keys to our reputation. Also essential is our commitment to fast, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment through an array of cutting edge procedures and treatment options.

The Heart Program at Saint John's Health Center is home to a full range of technologically advanced diagnostic testing, from the simple to the complex, to all aspects of surgical and interventional treatment of heart disease.
