Cardiovascular care for women
Heart disease is the number one killer of American women. It can affect women of any age, at any time. It also affects them differently from men. That's why we make it a priority to educate women and improve their collective outlook.
At St. Joseph's Medical Center's Morrissey Family Heart & Vascular Institute we combine advanced heart care services with a personalized level of dignity, respect and compassion. Patients have access to primary heart services close to home through our team of cardiovascular specialists and diagnostic tools and treatment services including the area's only Structural Heart Team, Hybrid Suite, and Electrophysiology Procedural Room.

Mammography
Getting a mammogram is still the gold standard for breast cancer detection and the
American Cancer Society recommends
an annual mammography screening for all healthy women beginning at age 40. Mammograms help doctors detect abnormalities and changes in breast tissue before they start to cause symptoms. Early detection and treatment of breast cancer can be lifesaving.
St. Joseph's Women's Imaging Center offers 3D digital mammography services with Computer Aided Detection technology, breast ultrasound, and stereotactic breast biopsy. Our team is made up of board-certified radiologists and registered imaging technologists. They work together to produce quality images and evaluations for our patients and their doctors.
