As the most comprehensive heart program in the region, we provide innovative treatment in the comfort of your local community hospital. But top-rated, close-to-home care is just one of the reasons we care for so many heart patients. Here are five more:

We know that putting patients first leads to the best outcomes. That’s why we don’t just care for your heart – we care for all that it beats for. We provide patients with a wide range of support services that extend well beyond traditional treatment. Our offerings include everything from prevention and education to nutrition, pain management and spiritual care. As part of this patient-centered approach, we recently opened two state-of-the-art catheterization labs to provide advanced care in your local community.

Our cardiologists are experts in the most advanced therapeutic and surgical techniques. We take a team-based approach to your heart care, working with some of the best surgeons, heart specialists and nurse navigators in the region. Our team uses minimally invasive procedures whenever possible to improve outcomes and reduce recovery times. These innovative methods include the MitraClip procedure to treat a leaky heart valve and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to replace an aortic valve.

We understand that the impact of heart disease is greater in some communities. Genetics plays a part, but unequal access to great health care is also a factor. At Providence, we make sure each of our patients has access to the best heart care. As part of this commitment, we offer a robust community health program, including two mobile health vans to treat patients closer to home.

We value, respect and support the racial, ethnic, religious, spiritual, gender and sexual identities of each member of our diverse community. Our teams welcome all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. And we aim to treat every patient equally and with dignity – whoever you are, and wherever you are in your journey.

Providence Heart & Vascular Institute in Northern California is proud to be deeply involved in the continual advancement of cardiovascular treatment and therapies. We were the first electrophysiology lab in the North Bay. Now we are one of the longest-running and most highly experienced local programs for heart rhythm disturbances.

As our patient, you can take part in one of our many clinical trials. These include FDA-regulated trials to develop new cardiovascular therapies. Providence also participates in national cardiovascular data registries to continually improve outcomes and patient care.
