Heart and Vascular Care

Find lifesaving heart care right in your own backyard

After a heart attack, blood flow stops. The sooner doctors restore blood flow the better. Time is muscle and every wasted minute causes permanent heart damage. Freeman's response time beats national standards by nearly 30% (2008 and 2009 average elapsed time). Freeman Heart & Vascular Institute offers you expert, rapid care.

Through preventive care, emergency interventions, diagnostics, open-heart surgeries, rehabilitation, outreach, and education, our board-certified cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons offer patients a heart care program competitive with those found at top-quality facilities across the country.
