New approaches to cardiovascular care are emerging...

New diagnostic tests can help cardiologists detect a heart complication before it becomes serious or life threatening. And less-invasive procedures like angioplasty and stent replacement have created new possibilities for successful treatment. In fact, only 1% of patients ever need heart surgery.*

People are also discovering that they can play the greatest role in their heart health, especially at an earlier age. Day-to-day prevention techniques like exercise, a healthy diet, and maintaining a low-level of stress are widely known to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Silver Cross Hospital unifies these emerging attitudes to create a truly innovative heart care environment. By extending our commitment to care beyond our hospital walls, we foster healthy lifestyle habits that can make invasive treatment a less frequent option.

Welcome to a new era in cardiovascular health.

Silver Cross Hospital’s Brown Cardiovascular Institute brings the most comprehensive and advanced heart care to the Joliet and Chicago south-suburban communities. If you would like more information about our cardiovascular services, please call (815) 740-7089.
