Each year heart disease kills more people than the next 16 diseases combined As a result heart patients want better ways of healing So do physicians Both want outstanding clinical care and an environment that promotes safety feelings of security and healing At Heart Hospital of Lafayette the solution we offer does just that Our approach is comprehensive costeffective physiciandriven and patientfocused

Heart Hospital of Lafayette is an entire hospital focused on heart disease Specially designed equipped and staffed to keep the heart healthy and treat it when its not We have a Heart Emergency Center that stands prepared aroundtheclock We are an angioplasty center which is important to know in the event of a heartrelated emergency We are The Heart Hospital

The Heart Hospital of Lafayette has received the humbled distinction of being one of the 2008 quotTop 100 Cardiovascular Hospitalsquot in the nation by Thomson Reuters It reflects our mission to change the way heart care is provided to make it better for the patient The model upon which our hospital is built has been proven to produce better outcomes and higher levels of patient satisfaction

We believe that the best way to promote healing is to provide the patient with care that is clinically excellent and emotionally responsive Our environment allows caregivers to have more face time with the patient and families are encouraged to be part of the process Thats why family members are allowed 24hour access to patients and sleeper beds have been incorporated into every room to accommodate an overnight guest Heres what our philosophy of patientfocused care means to you

Each patient room is private and specially equipped
to meet the needs of heart and vascular patients

Each room is a universal room meaning that all
care can be provided in one environment without
the need to transfer to another unit For the
patient this means that the room you are admitted
to will most likely be your room throughout your
stay

Many diagnostic services can take place at bedside
and when the need to transport a patient for tests
arises our centrally located support services make
the trip a short one

Rather than a central nurses station we have
multiple nurses stations located near patient rooms
around the floor This means someone is nearby when
you need them

A small care team of clinicians will care for the
patient from admission to discharge This approach
promotes understanding bonding and continuity of
care

A concierge is available to assist in making the
hospital stay as convenient and comfortable as
possible for family members

Free convenient parking is always available

Our patient care plans innovative procedures
preferred technology and outstanding clinical
talent help us to achieve excellent patient
satisfaction
