Because heart disease claims a life every 32 seconds. It is this country’s number one killer. Over the years, we’ve steadily strengthened our expertise in prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation. A quick look back: In 1971 we implanted our first pacemaker, in 1981 we performed our first echocardiogram; and in 1991 we opened the first Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory in Elkhart County. In 1996 our Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, then eleven years old, forged a cooperative relationship with the Elkhart YMCA and the Goshen YWCA that makes safe, “heart healthy” exercise programs more accessible than ever. Bringing a New Level of Heart Care to Elkhart County In keeping with this innovative tradition, January 1997 marked the beginning of the Open Heart Surgery Program at Elkhart General. Now if you or a loved one require lifesaving open heart surgery, it is available close to home. And the communication among your family
