Heart disease strikes someone in the U.S. about every 40 seconds. It's
the No. 1 cause of death in this country of both men and women. In the
communities we
serve, it's even more prevalent - and deadly - than in the rest of the
nation. For more than two decades, the team at King's Daughters has worked
tirelessly to address these statistics. It's our mission ... because the
lives that are affected are those of our friends, neighbors and families.
Delivering world-class heart care is more than a job for us; it's a personal passion.
We are committed to continual improvement in the care and education we
provide. We are at the leading edge when it comes to adopting new techniques,
introducing new technology and providing our patients with the best opportunity
for long and healthier lives.
We make care accessible, by putting our cardiologists, nurse practitioners
and physician assistants in the communities where you live and work. We
are committed to seeing you quickly, with same-day appointments available
weekdays at many of our cardiology offices.
We adhere to the highest standards, having achieved accreditations and
certifications in the treatment of Chest Pain, Atrial Fibrillation and
Heart Failure. We were the first hospital in this region to achieve the
prestigious ACE (Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence) accreditation
for both our cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention programs.
