Heart & Vascular Center of BMH Opens

October 24, 2008 – (BUTLER, PA) – Butler Health System announces the opening of the new Heart & Vascular Center of Butler Memorial Hospital.  

The new Center provides a wide range of cardiology treatment options for residents of the Butler County region including diagnostic testing, stress testing, nuclear stress testing, Holter monitoring, echocardiography and cardiac rehabilitation. It is all offered in one convenient, centralized location along with treatment by experienced cardiologists, interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons.

The Center is designed so that patients seeking cardiovascular care or screenings can receive all of the necessary services in close proximity and with easy access to specialty physicians. This includes walk-in lab, pre-admission and cardiology testing on site.

There is a full-service café in the new Heart & Vascular Center as well as an area for patient education resources. Educational classes will be offered on site and screening services will also be available.

All of these features were added with patient convenience in mind. The actual Center occupies two and a half floors of the former Morgan II building at the intersection of Routes 422, 38 and 68. This BHS campus is now called BHS East and is only 1.5 miles from the main campus on East Brady Street.
