Heart Institute

Welcome to Saint Joseph Heart Institute

You're in good hands at Saint Joseph Heart Institute. Since 1959, when Central Kentucky's first open heart surgery was performed at Saint Joseph, we've been bringing together the best and latest technology and an outstanding staff to provide Central and Eastern Kentucky with the highest quality cardiac care.

The Institute's innovative cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons have access to the latest research and technology, as well as to facilities that are devoted exclusively to the care of cardiac intensive care and cardiac patients. Nationally renowned surgeons perform rare, highly specialized procedures at the Saint Joseph Heart Institute, which are performed at only select hospitals throughout the country.

Saint Joseph Hospital was the site of Central Kentucky's first heart catheterization in 1954. By 1959, the hospital had performed the first open heart procedure in the region. Today, Saint Joseph Health System remains at the forefront of cardiac care. The Heart Institute has led the way with technological advances. In 1994, the Institute performed the first rotablator procedure and the first Palmaz-Schatz stent procedure in Central Kentucky.

As part of Saint Joseph Health System and Catholic Health Initiatives, Saint Joseph Heart Institute's mission is to care for the total individual, physically, mentally and emotionally. At Saint Joseph, we combine the Science of Medicine with the Heart of Compassion.
