Bringing care closer to home

The Emanate Health Heart Care Center is one of the most comprehensive heart health centers in the San Gabriel Valley. From preventative care and screenings, to advanced imaging, treatment and rehabilitation, our highly trained physicians and clinical team coordinate all aspects of heart care for patients.

STEMI Receiving Center

As a designated STEMI Receiving Center, we are recognized in Los Angeles County for our rapid treatment times from the onset of a heart attack to stent placement.

Advanced imaging
and procedures for
better outcomes

Our expert cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons and cardiac care teams diagnose and treat a wide range of heart conditions and diseases. 

From exercise stress tests to open heart surgery, cardiac catheterization, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and angioplasties, our cardiac care teams are able to perform a wide spectrum of heart procedures. Specializing in minimally invasive surgeries, patients benefit from fewer complications, less scarring and faster recovery times.


Heart conditions and diseases we treat:

  • Arrhythmia – abnormal heart rhythm
  • Cardiomyopathy – heart disease that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body 
  • Congenital heart defects – heart defects present at birth 
  • Chest pain 
  • Elevated blood pressure 
  • Heart attack and heart failure 
  • Heart disease 
  • Structural heart disease 
  • Valve disease

2,000+ heart procedures

performed annually

94% success rate

with Emergency Medical Services for the ≤90-minute goal of STEMI patient to PCI at ICH (above the 75% LA County EMS Agency benchmark)
