UHS Wilson Medical Center’s Chest Pain Center, the region’s only such facility accredited by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care, provides patients with the following life-saving benefits:
- Close observation, with consistent monitoring of the patient’s heartbeat
- Consultation with a cardiologist
- A comfortable environment that encourages open and consistent communication with the cardiology team
- Access to additional tests not available in a traditional emergency department, such as sophisticated lab workups and nuclear stress tests to uncover emerging heart conditions in need of emergency care
