Fast, Lifesaving Care for Heart Attacks

Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the U.S. A heart attack can happen anytime, and getting fast treatment can save a life.

At Salina Regional Health Center, we are proud to be an ACC Accredited Chest Pain Center with Primary PCI since 2018. This means we follow the best medical guidelines to treat heart attacks quickly and use a special procedure called PCI to open blocked arteries.

Why This Matters for You

• Faster Heart Attack Treatment – We act fast to stop heart damage.
• Expert Heart Doctors Available 24/7 – Our team is ready any time, day or night.
• Emergency Heart Procedure (PCI) – We use a tiny balloon and stent to open blocked arteries without surgery.
• Collaboration with Emergency Medical Services (EMS) – We work closely with EMS to start care before patients even reach the hospital.
• Chest Pain Evaluation – Not all chest pain is a heart attack, but we make sure every patient gets the right care.

What is PCI?

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a quick, lifesaving procedure that opens blocked arteries. A doctor uses a tiny balloon to widen the artery and places a stent (a small tube) to keep blood flowing to the heart. PCI helps people recover faster and prevents more heart damage.

If you're having a heart attack, every second matters.
