Outcomes.
It really does matter where you go for heart care. St.Vincent Heart Center of Indiana is the only hospital to be named Best Heart Care in Indiana five years in a row (2006-2010) by HealthGrades, an independent national healthcare ratings company. That ranks us among the very best in the United States. Period.
Stories from the Heart.
Statistics are wonderful. But nothing speaks louder than the experiences of actual guests of St.Vincent Heart Center of Indiana. Here's what some of them have to say:
“I have never been in your hospital as a patient but have visited different friends at different times and I have to tell you that everyone is so friendly and helpful. When the nurses come in to see the patient, which is frequent, they are so sincere about what they are doing and caring. If I ever have need of a heart specialty hospital, I hope to come to St.Vincent Heart Center of Indiana. Keep up the good work.”

“I must say that though I was aware that open heart surgery was in my future, I was hoping that it wasn't going to be within five years of being told that it would be necessary. And given that I expected it to be difficult, I had no idea that my hospital experience would be such a positive one. Since my surgery I have told all that inquire about my experience that should they know anyone that requires a heart procedure to seek out the expertise of The Heart Center!
"Not only did I have the best surgeon, but everyone from the nurses, physicians assistants, and respiratory therapy staff to even the folks that clean the rooms were all just WONDERFUL! The staff was right there to help. And they seemed to do it with pleasure. On top of all they did for me during my stay, they sent me home with the most detailed, educational binder that answered any and all questions that I may have had once I returned home.
"Thank you so much for providing an experience that was truly a positive one! I met the most wonderful people and gained the rest of my life!”

“I want to take this time to express my sincere gratitude for the care I've been given at St.Vincent Heart Center. The support staff has been top notch. Being a professional myself, I appreciate the level of quality care I had been given. My stay at the Heart Center will be one I will never forget. The nursing staff has been very informative and responsive to my needs. The Heart Center definitely is the number one facility in Indiana. I say this from experience. Thank you and God bless you for making me feel important.”
