Chest Pain Protocols
Is it heartburn – or a heart attack? A fast answer to that question could save your life. If you feel chest pain, our emergency department provides prompt care. Special protocols and testing help our team quickly diagnose whether a patient is experiencing a heart attack.

Peripheral artery disease –
typically characterized by arterial blockages in the legs – is one of the most prevalent and dangerous diseases in the United States. However, many individuals are not aware of PAD or the disease’s link to heart attack and stroke. The symptoms of PAD are oftentimes mistaken as joint pain, “harmless” poor circulation, and “just getting older.” The truth is, PAD is a silent and deadly killer that affects 1 in 20 Americans over the age of 50. Schedule a painless, noninvasive ABI test. $30 and 30 minutes could save your life! Call 866-431-WELL (9355) to schedule.

As children, many of us liked to play doctor and listen to the sound of someone’s heart − the steady bump, bump, bump sound was fascinating for those curious minds.
