The Women's Heart Center at St. Joseph's was designed to improve the cardiovascular health of women in northern New Jersey, focusing mainly on high-risk women from ethnic minorities. The program's goal is to increase women's awareness of heart disease, risks, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options, and reduce the cultural, racial, linguistic, and economic barriers and assist patients with immediate access to appropriate quality care. To date, more than 6,500 women have attended the educational programs presented by The WHC and over 1,800 women have undergone screening evaluations.
With offices at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson, and the newly expanded, spa-like facility at St. Joseph's Wayne Hospital in Wayne, The Women's Heart Center at St. Joseph's is a clinical center of excellence established to offer women of all ages a coordinated approach to promoting their heart health and reducing their risk of heart disease and stroke. For just $30 (the same amount it costs to have a manicure and pedicure), a woman can undergo a 45-minute comprehensive cardiac risk assessment screening to evaluate risk factors for heart disease as well as stroke. Give someone you love the gift of health, with a gift certificate for a screening.
