“We continually strive to deliver the highest level of care for our stroke and heart patients.

According to the AHA/ASA, stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States. Atrial fibrillation, is a heart condition that accounts for about one-third of rhythm disturbances and is associated with a five-fold increased risk of stroke. Proper treatment of atrial fibrillation can reduce the risk of stroke.
Heart failure affects more than 6.5 million adults in the United States and individuals with heart failure that is not well-managed typically experience frequent, recurrent hospitalization. Proper medication management, utilization of implantable devices and consistent healthy lifestyle choices, can help people with heart failure lead a full, enjoyable life and reduce hospitalizations.
