On Western Baptist’s upcoming “HealthBreak,” cardiothoracic surgeon Robin Howe, M.D., and cardiologist Ralph Millsaps, M.D., will discuss the impact of the new Baptist Heart Center on the region’s heart patients.

Robin Howe, M.D.

“The new heart center represents Baptist’s commitment to the latest and best in cardiac care, all in one place,” said Dr. Howe.

Dr. Millsaps said time saved in the heart center’s centralized approach can be critical in saving a person’s life.

“We’re under a time constraint with a heart attack,” said Dr. Millsaps. “The proximity of services at the heart center allows us to get patients into the cath lab quicker, open their arteries faster and save lives.”
