The Heart Center at Torresdale

A hospital stay for a heart condition must be a positive experience that sends you home healthier and prepared to do your part to help manage your condition.  Our staff emphasizes one-to-one patient care, the latest and most effective treatments and therapies, and a special focus on patient education.

At our heart center, you also benefit from continuity of care with staff members who know you and your condition and who are there for you throughout your stay.  We pride ourselves on a system in which – unlike many centers – we do not transfer our patients to different units and floors, as their care is stepped up or down.  Our patients remain in the same cardiac care area, with the same nursing and medical staff until they are ready to go home.

This consistency of care assures that every medical step builds on and is based on the care that has come before it, in the previous hour or previous day.  This up-to-the-minute approach means patients progress faster, get to know the staff, and are always guaranteed to be cared for by someone who is familiar with their case and needs.

Our new cardiac care inpatient unit provides the latest amenities for the comfort of patients and their families.  Its design facilitates responsive staffing and includes the latest monitoring capabilities.  The nursing and other components of care are also dedicated to caring for heart patients.  Recovering from heart treatment requires courage, stamina, and will power, and our personalized care helps patients to find this within themselves.

Your inpatient care is carefully coordinated with our knowledge of your full medical history and with your current and long-term requirements.  Your stay is also integrated with our cardiac rehabilitation program so that you will get better as rapidly as possible and continue that improvement as an outpatient.
