At Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Hamilton, a team of medical experts work together to promote, preserve and restore the health of your heart through a comprehensive program that includes education, prevention, early diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

Heart disease is more easily treatable than ever before. Armed with information gleaned from medical research, we can prescribe preventive lifestyle choices that promote cardiovascular health.

RWJ Hamilton is recognized by the American Heart Association as a Get With The Guidelines Coronary Artery Disease Hospital. This recognition is given to hospitals that participate in a quality improvement initiative that is designed to reduce the risk of recurrent heart attacks by helping hospital staff follow proven standards and procedures while coronary patients are in their care.

RWJ Hamilton offers a full range of sophisticated diagnostic procedures which make it possible to design precise, customized treatment plans. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology like Emergent Angioplasty and "clotbuster" thrombolytic drugs, we can stop a heart attack in progress in our Emergency Chest Pain Center. And following recovery from a heart attack, our comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation center can help bring you back to good health.

Whether you come to us for cardiac catheterization or a routine cholesterol screening, a cardiac emergency or a seminar on prevention of heart disease, you will receive the immediate, expert care that you deserve. Our multidisciplinary team includes Board Certified Cardiologists, experienced cardiac nurses, medical technologists, and other healthcare professionals with specialized training in every facet of cardiovascular care.

At RWJ Hamilton, we are dedicated to improving the health of our community, and that of our cardiac patients. Browse the various topics to the left of this page to see the many ways we can help to restore and preserve your health.
