Cardiac Outreach Program

	I’m pleased to welcome you to the Outreach Program at St. Francis Hospital. We pride ourselves on providing high quality, dignified care to those who would otherwise not be able to access the health care system. Read More Hide
Our mobile clinic evaluates eligible patients for heart disease and for the risk factors that cause heart disease. Once we identify certain conditions, further cardiac services are provided at St. Francis Hospital. Our goal is to provide the best care possible to everyone and to educate the public about the prevention of heart disease. Please take the opportunity to go through the links on this page for further information.
- Louise Spadaro, M.D., Director of the Outreach Program

The Outreach Program at St. Francis Hospital is dedicated to screening patients who don’t have access to care for heart disease, including coronary artery disease – a major cause of heart disease today – and its associated risk factors.

Since 1989, our program has been dedicated to this mission. We specialize in risk factor assessment and the early detection of heart disease in underserved communities where patients may not have access to care.

We also seek to educate communities through literature and referrals to community health programs.
