Hancock Health Partners with Ascension St. Vincent Heart Center
Heart health is a growing concern as we age. Nearly half of Americans are expected to encounter heart disease in their lifetimes and access to top-of-the-line cardiac healthcare is vital.
Did you know that Hancock Health partners with Ascension St. Vincent Heart Center? Known as one of the best heart centers in the U.S., our partnership means that Hancock Health patients have access to St. Vincent cardiologists right here in Hancock County. If you know you have heart disease, or it’s been recommended that you consult with a cardiologist, you’re in the right place.
Typically when you’re in your 40s or 50s your primary care provider will refer you to a cardiologist to get a baseline picture of your heart health. If your healthcare provider has already mentioned this to you, now is a great time to set up your appointment. Call today!
There are several other reasons you might need to see a cardiologist. Undergoing a stress test – that is, seeing how your heart performs during exercise – can be helpful if you experience shortness of breath,or dizziness, as well as to diagnose a myriad of heart issues.
You may also need to see a cardiologist to undergo advanced detection of heart disease, particularly if you have a strong family history. As with many health-related issues, the earlier they are caught the better the outcomes. In addition to stress testing, we offer EKG, echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization (and more).
One of the most important things we offer for your cardiac health is support and rehabilitation. This includes support groups and a plethora of resources. We know that healing comes through many forms and having a place for patients and their loved ones to feel supported and in community is one piece of this.
