Heart health is about more than just your heart. Blood pressure, cholesterol, family history and other factors all play important roles in keeping your heart strong. If you have questions about your heart health but aren’t quite sure where to begin, start with a heart health assessment and learn more about any risks you may have for heart-related conditions. Your journey to a stronger heart starts here.
The St. Joseph Heart Center offers the most comprehensive cardiology services between Boise and Spokane.
Next Steps
Nationally Accredited
We earned our accreditation from the American College of Cardiology, meaning we meet or exceed quality of care measures for your patients who may be having a heart attack or other cardiac event.
St. Joe' offers the most comprehensive cardiology services between Boise, Idaho and Spokane, Wash., providing care you need, close to home.
The Highest Levels of Cardiac Care
The national benchmark for obtaining and interpreting an EKG is 10 minutes. At 8 minutes, St. Joe's consistently outperforms this benchmark, which facilitates early diagnosis of a heart attack for patients coming directly to our ED.
We understand that every minute counts when you're experiencing a heart attack. National standards* encourage a door-to-balloon time (the time between first medical contact and the opening of a blocked artery) of 90 minutes or less. At St. Joe’s, our average door-to-balloon time is consistently less than 60 minutes, and we've taken patients door-to-balloon in as little as 11 minutes.
Collaborative Pre-Care
Our emergency department is integrated with the local emergency medical system (EMS), allowing our team to initiate a STEMI Alert from the field/home, which means significantly faster treatment times for our patients.
Post-Cardiac Care
We provide comprehensive cardiac care including but not limited to care for coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertension and more. We have dedicated Heart Failure and Device Clinics that operate on the most up to date evidence-based practice.
