A Regional Heart Care Leader

We Mend Broken Hearts and Save Lives Every Day — and We ’ re Fast
For more than 30 years , Renown Institute for Heart & Vascular Health has led the region in heart and vascular treatment . We understand the importance of an individualized approach to heart care . Additionally , when it comes to a heart attack , we know time is of the essence for all patients .
The less time between diagnosis and treatment , the more heart muscle saved , the better the outcome . Our specialists research , train and work to implement the fastest heart-saving treatments possible . The results speak for themselves — our record-setting arrival-to-treatment times are among the best in the nation .
The American Heart Association ( AHA ) recognized these efforts . We are the only hospital in the region to receive AHA ’ s Mission Lifeline Gold Plus Receiving award for heart attack . This means 96.8 percent of our patients have a door-to-balloon treatment time of 90 minutes or less .
Clinical trials and research are an opportunity for patients to receive promising new drugs , drug combinations , advances in personalized care and new treatment approaches . At Renown , there are currently a dozen heart and vascular disease clinical trials and there will be at least 20 by the end of 2017 .
