That's why our Cardiovascular Intervention Lab is always ready, staffed with highly specialized personnel experienced in diagnosing and treating complex heart conditions. As a designated STEMI (heart attack) Receiving Center for Santa Cruz County and a Joint Commission-certified Chest Pain Center, we provide expert care. Through our partnership with local EMS, our Emergency Room team receives patient information from the field, allowing the cardiac care team to be prepared upon the patient's arrival. This seamless coordination ensures that you receive the fastest and most effective treatment possible.
