Opening Our Hearts to You

The center’s rooftop helipad allows quick transport to the Chest Pain Center, when minutes matter. “Western Baptist exceeds national response times for heart attack intervention,” said medical director Patrick Withrow, M.D.
At the new Baptist Heart Center, “opening our hearts to you” means:

  • Advanced diagnostic and treatment technology for cardiac patients.
  • A stunning lobby for their families’ comfort.
  • Rooftop access for helicopters transporting chest pain patients.
  • A new “window on the world” for recovering heart patients in the region’s first nationally certified cardiac rehabilitation unit.
  • And the best: The region’s most experienced team of healthcare professionals putting their hearts into caring for yours.

The Baptist Heart Center is adjacent to the hospital’s Emergency department, where most cardiac problems are first diagnosed. A new rooftop heliport allows patients from other areas to be quickly brought to the Chest Pain Center, when minutes matter.

undefinedA building with heart: That was the architect’s objective in designing the new $20 million Baptist Heart Center.

Caring for your heart: That’s the purpose of every employee who works here.
