The Heart Institute's reputation for quality care is a direct result of the high quality of its physicians and staff. The New Jersey Heart Institute at Lourdes is involved in extensive education and research activities. Our research activities make it possible for our physicians to offer patients promising medications and new forms of therapy. Through our affiliation with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, many students, interns and residents receive advanced training and instruction with our experienced medical staff. Hundreds of practicing physicians from throughout the Delaware Valley attend our Annual Cardiology Symposium and our Cardiology Grand Rounds throughout the year.
Many cardiac patients require testing and treatment for other health problems.
Social services, nutritional education, and pastoral care help patients adjust and return to daily living. Provided by the Lourdes Wellness Center , presentations and health fairs featuring cardiac risk factor screenings all encourage public awareness of the need to take better care of our hearts and bodies.
