Cardiovascular experts
Patient safety is at the forefront of everything we do. That's why our heart and vascular program is the most comprehensive and robust in the region. If a patient's condition worsens during a heart procedure, we don't transfer them
to another hospital — we keep them here.
Our doctors, physician assistants, surgeons, nurses, technologists and specialists are some of the most experienced in Oregon. Bringing this expertise to the Mid-Willamette Valley offers not only better health outcomes, but also peace of mind.
