The New Milford Hospital Regional Heart Center
Applying the health care leadership and cardiac expertise of the partnering hospitals, the New Milford Hospital Regional Heart Center offers patients the latest options to prevent and treat America's number one killer -- cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) disease.
The Regional Heart Center offers a broad range of diagnostic, preventive and cardiovascular disease management services, including a fully staffed, 24-hour emergency department, supported by an outstanding paramedic response program. Delivered by an expert team of health care professionals, these comprehensive cardiac services are designed to save lives, reduce heart damage and improve quality of life for cardiac patients.
The heart is a muscle about the size of a fist that pumps constantly to keep the body supplied with oxygen and nutrient-rich blood. When the vessels that supply the heart become damaged due to cardiovascular disease, the heart - and the rest of the body - can suffer.
That's why prompt diagnosis and treatment by highly qualified specialists is so essential.
A Remarkable Partnership

Cardiovascular health, a job that takes two.
Cardiovascular disease kills over a million Americans every year, but there are millions more whose lives it impairs. Due to personal habits and in some cases heredity, cardiovascular problems often build gradually, reducing one's ability to lead a full life.
The good news is that many cardiovascular problems can be prevented. Or, should they occur, they can monitored and often controlled and improved upon. This means that each of us must be aware of our own condition and not wait passively for problems to arise.
