Advanced, life-saving heart care
83.4% of Suffolk County’s population have one or more cardiovascular risk factors (overweight, smoking, physically inactive, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol).
When it comes to heart disease, there is a great need for advanced diagnostics and treatment in our community. Mather Hospital wants to ensure that in times of cardiac emergency, we’re here for those who look to us. To effectively deliver timely care – when time is everything – we recently opened a new integrated Cardiac Catheterization and Electrophysiology Lab. This technology paired with exceptional interventional cardiologists, electrophysiologists and specially trained nursing staff:
- ensures patients are treated quickly and seamlessly.
- allows rapid diagnosis and treatment of cardiac emergencies such as blockages and heart attacks.
- provides our physicians and their teams with revolutionary equipment to perform advanced, life-saving cardiac care.
- allows us to become an educational beacon, attracting the best and brightest physicians of tomorrow who will propel breakthrough treatments and innovate approaches to care.
Patients requiring heart surgery can be transferred to South Shore University Hospital, one of the country’s best hospitals for cardiac care. Their surgeons are ranked among the best in New York by the Department of Health. South Shore was named one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Surgery™ for six years in a row (2018-2023) by Healthgrades and was recognized as a leader in cardiac surgery by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
