It's Your Heart

And it’s your life. You can feel comfortable knowing Lehigh Valley Health Network’s specialists perform thousands of heart surgeries and procedures every year in our state-of-the-art operating rooms and all-digital cardiac catheterization labs at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest in Allentown, Pa., and Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg in Bethlehem, Pa. If you’re having a heart attack, government data shows that Lehigh Valley Hospital is one of the nation's best hospitals for heart attack care.

We Have the Second Best Heart Attack Survival Rate in the Nation

Lehigh Valley Health Network created MI Alert for Heart Attacks, a program that consistently delivers the "gold standard" for treating heart attack patients with timely, lifesaving care. In fact, Lehigh Valley Hospital has the second best heart attack survival rate in the nation according to U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services "Hospital Compare" data, as reported by USA TODAY.

Our hospitals are also accredited by the Society of Chest Pain Centers so that heart patients are treated quickly and according to national best practices. As a result, many of our patients recover from heart attacks and go on to accomplish their personal bests. To us, it doesn’t get any better than that.

The quality of our heart care goes beyond the treatment of heart attacks. We provide superior care for valve disease, an irregular heartbeat, heart failure, blocked arteries, aneurysms, and high blood pressure and cholesterol. Plus, our doctors, nurses and staff are considered among the nation’s best and most experienced.

Lehigh Valley Health Network sets the pace in helping patients recover sooner and more completely from heart disease with new technologies and research. We're ranked first in the state because we put you first. It’s all about saving lives. That’s our ultimate mission and our true passion.
