St. Luke's Center for Heart and Vascular Health
Today'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.
