St. Joseph Hospital is an award-winning 253-bed facility with more than 1,800 employees. We are a not-for-profit, full-service Catholic hospital sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace. Other services include a Level II trauma center, emergency helicopter, heart surgery, neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery, cancer center, rehabilitation center and obstetrics. Founded more than a century ago, St. Joseph is part of the Peace Health health care system with locations in Oregon, Washington and Alaska.

The Cardiovascular Center staff is a mix of RNs, radiology techs and cardiovascular techs. Specifically, the staff includes eight nurses, eight technologists, two data analysts, one director, one buyer and one administrative assistant. Staff tenure ranges from 37 years with St. Joseph Hospital to six months at the Cardiovascular Center.

The Center also has one dedicated electrophysiology lab (the only one in the region); two dedicated vascular ultrasound rooms, two dedicated echocardiography rooms and one shared ultrasound room; a cardiac non-invasive testing room; a 10-bed dedicated cardiac recovery unit and a patient/family education resource room. The Center is used as a show site for Philips Medical Systems.

Along with an experienced staff, the Center had experienced patients offer input on the design and flow of the Center when it was being built. For example, prior patient Bob Swindle and his wife Sue sat on the Center's implementation team, which dealt with all aspects of the Center, from patient care to design and maintenance.
