The Women's Heart Center is dedicated to the prevention and treatment of heart disease in women. The number one killer of women, heart disease strikes one in nine women before age 65 and one in three women after age 65. Women experience a variety of symptoms and are exposed to different risk factors for heart disease than men.
Women are at higher risk for heart disease than for all forms of cancer combined.
They understand the special needs and concerns of their female patients. Our physicians are sensitive to women's questions about cholesterol, diet, weight loss, pregnancy, hormones, aging, and their effects on the heart. They provide the educational instruction that specifically applies to women of all ages. Our Physicians are women, mothers, daughters, wives and women with careers. And they understand the demands and stress that today's women face.
