A hospital stay can be incredibly stressful for patients and their families. That's why our patient care focuses on personal needs, comfort and convenience. From admission to discharge, our patients have access to advanced technology, surgical techniques and therapy in a hospital specially designed for their treatment and recovery.

Upon admission, each patient is assigned a care team that follows the patient throughout his or her stay. This continuity of care is helpful to both patients and staff. Familiar faces help patients feel more comfortable, and cardiovascular care teams can work more efficiently. Nurses have a chance to observe a patient's condition more closely, get to know families and are better able to alert doctors to changes.

At Heart Hospital of Austin, equipment and medical staff come to the patient. The usual wheeling-around the hospital from one floor to another is eliminated.Each patient has a large private room – a self-contained intensive care environment designed to meet the special needs of heart patients.
