Our Approach

Heart disease is a major health concern that includes everything from heart attack and heart failure to abnormal rhythms and damaged valves. The Heart Institute at Providence St. Joseph Hospital Eureka is dedicated to helping people of all ages enjoy their best possible heart health.

From diagnostic tests and procedures in our state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization lab to cardiac rehabilitation, this is where you’ll find the care that you need. We believe prevention is equally important to help you take control of your risk factors so you live a long, happy life.

You’ll get personalized attention from specialists who care for you and about you.
