Primary Heart Attack Center
As a Primary Heart Attack Center – certified by The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® and the American Heart Association – Williamson Medical Center is equipped to rapidly assess, diagnose and treat patients experiencing heart attacks, ensuring timely intervention and optimized outcomes. The designation signifies Williamson Medical Center as a leader in cardiac care thanks to its ability to deliver evidence-based care in accordance with the latest guidelines, resulting in improved survival rates and better long-term prognosis for heart attack patients.
Emergency Cardiac Services
In addition to our preventative, interventional and rehab services, Williamson Health is here for you in an emergency.
Our advanced technology and expertise allow us to move quickly when every second counts. Williamson Health's highly advanced emergency medical services (EMS) team can assess for a heart attack through electrocardiogram and digitally transmit those results to the Emergency Department. A board-certified physician can then read the results and determine the best course of treatment – often before the patient even arrives at Williamson Medical Center.
If you believe you're having a heart attack, don’t wait to get help – and don't try to drive yourself to the hospital. Call 911 for immediate treatment.
Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory
Williamson Health is a leader in providing interventional cardiology to patients having heart attacks. Cardiac catheterization is used to detect and evaluate conditions of the heart. Catheter-based intervention offers patients shorter hospital stays, reduced recovery time without the pain of the large incision and minimal surgical scarring. The procedure also reduces the risks and recovery time found in traditional surgical approaches.
Cardiac Stress Testing
Cardiac stress testing is a process to test the capacity of the heart and detect blockages. A series of tests compares a patient’s resting heart rate and the heart rate under duress to determine the amount of physical activity the heart can endure.
Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Our Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation program uses physical exercise and education to help patients regain an optimal level of physical, mental and social well-being. Click here to learn more.
