Prevention and Education
Understanding that heart attacks have beginnings, our program emphasizes the importance of prevention through education. We educate patients on the risk factors associated with heart attacks, including high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle. People can greatly diminish their risk of heart attack by recognizing this and making changes within their life.

Early Recognition and Response
One of the main pillars of our Heart Attack Program is early recognition and response. We educate patients on the signs and symptoms of a heart attack. Signs and symptoms include:
- chest pain or discomfort
- shortness of breath
- nausea
- lightheadedness
- pain or discomfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach
Watch out for the signs and stay alert.
Time is of the essence when it comes to heart attack treatments. We work closely with our Emergency Department to ensure we can see the patient as quickly as possible.
