For more than 25 years, Western Baptist has combined a commitment to excellence with a dedication to treating the causes, symptoms, and effects of patients’ cardiac diseases. After the first heart cath in 1977, a series of other cardiac accomplishments followed, including the first open-heart surgery in western Kentucky in 1985. Today, Western Baptist continues to break ground in cardiac care, with such advances as implantable devices and the use of lasers.
