"We've been underserved and overlooked, and this kind of care that we're celebrating today is exciting and something we deserve as a community,"
"If you have a parent, sibling or relative with some heart condition - you know minutes matter, seconds matter. We want to make sure you don't have to drive an hour to San Jose or somewhere else to get the kind of services you deserve."
Saint Louise Hospital in Gilroy and Valley Health Center in Morgan Hill launched cardiology services to improve access in South Santa Clara County. The expansion provides proactive services including electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, and wearable monitoring patches. Doctors can now diagnose, monitor, and treat conditions such as aortic aneurysms, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, heart rhythm disorders, and valvular heart disease. Prior to the expansion, patients in rural areas often drove about 35 miles—up to an hour each way—to reach cardiology services in San Jose, creating barriers for older patients and working families and causing some to delay care.
