The Bostick Heart Center has five cardiac catheterization labs, with one specifically for electrophysiology procedures and another serving as a hybrid operating room, allowing for interventional and high-risk cardiac procedures to be performed.

Our experienced Advanced Nurse Practitioners specialize in cardiology and are dedicated to supporting all Heart Failure patients, so they remain healthy.

Our open-heart surgery program regularly earns the highest quality rating from an independent cardiothoracic organization and is dedicated to improving heart surgery outcomes for patients. Patients who have undergone heart surgery or a cardiac catheterization require close monitoring by their care team. Our brand new 50 intensive care patient rooms were designed to provide a dedicated workspace for nurses to easily monitor their patients, while also providing patients with spacious, updated rooms with lake views so they can recover comfortably.

The Bostick Heart Center now offers a variety of treatments for patients diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation. Also called AFib, atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm that can disrupt blood flow throughout the body.

AFib Services Offered:

• WATCHMAN™ is an alternative treatment option for people with AFib to reduce the risk of stroke.
• Electrophysiology Procedures (EP)/Cardiac Ablation modifies the area of the heart tissue that is causing the irregular heartbeat. An ablation can help correct an arrhythmia rather than just treating the symptoms of AFib.
• Cardioversion (resetting your heart’s rhythm) may be possible through medication or electrotherapy.
