Highest level of cardiac care
The national benchmark for obtaining and interpreting an EKG is 10 minutes. At SageWest, we consistently outperforms this benchmark, which facilitates early diagnosis of a heart attack for patients coming directly to our ED.
We understand that every minute counts when you're experiencing a heart attack. We maintain high levels of training for all hospital personnel and consistent care for every patient in every department. And we are continually seeking to improve our processes and procedures, ensuring the most up-to-date, evidence based care.
Collaborative Pre-Care
Our emergency department is integrated with the local emergency medical system, allowing our team to initiate a STEMI Alert from the field/home, which means significantly faster treatment times for our patients.
Post cardiac care
Our cardiac rehab team provides physical activity, education about healthy living and counseling to find ways to relieve stress and improve mental health. The program strengthens your heart and body, helps you build healthier habits, reduces your stress, improves your mood, increases your energy and strength and lowers your risk for future heart problems.
