St. Luke's Center for Heart and Vascular Health

St. Luke's Cardiac SurgeonToday's Heart and Vascular Care
Medical advances in the treatment of heart and vascular disease have saved countless patients who would not have survived a generation ago. People are living longer with heart and vascular disease, with a higher quality of life, yet we continue to be challenged by the impact of cardiovascular disease on our society. Cardiovascular disease is now the leading cause of death in the U.S. for both men and women, affecting more people than all forms of cancer combined.

With more than 40 years of experience in caring for heart and vascular patients, St. Luke’s Center for Heart and Vascular Health is dedicated to providing the highest level of care to the people in our region. From our state-of-the-art technology to the skill and expertise of our physicians, nurses, and other health care providers, excellence is at the heart of all we do.

St. Luke's provides more heart procedures than any other hospital in Idaho, providing cardiac care for heart patients throughout Idaho, and in parts of Oregon, Nevada, and Utah.

St. Luke’s supports the region through partnerships with physicians, hospitals, and regional clinics where patients are cared for in their own communities. We offer classes and screenings to promote heart and vascular health and support those living with cardiovascular disease. St. Luke’s has provided hundreds of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to local schools, civic organizations, and businesses, and has worked with area hospitals to achieve standardized clinical protocols for heart attack patients.

As the region’s most comprehensive referral center for heart and vascular disease, St. Luke’s is honored to serve the people in our local communities through education, treatment, and care.
