Heart-healthy prevention, treatment and rehabilitation at Blount Memorial Hospital

At Blount Memorial Hospital, cardiac care begins with prevention. Our heart-healthy programs help East Tennesseans prevent problems, such as a heart attack, angina and the need for an angioplasty. In addition, practicing heart-healthy habits can help our program participants reduce the need for coronary artery bypass or another heart-related surgery.
