INTEGRIS Heart Hospital began in 2000 when a group of cardiologists (serving Oklahoma patients for years) and INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center shared a vision to create a world-class heart program. Through collaborative efforts, the program's goal was to provide the highest quality heart care to residents living in communities across Oklahoma. The plan included conveniently locating the heart hospital within INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center, allowing highly trained teams to focus on delivering excellent heart care services, with other medical specialties merely seconds away should the patient's need arise.
Since its inception, the INTEGRIS Heart Hospital evolved from a cardiovascular service line spread across the hospital, to more than 170 beds, across two floors, within INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center.
Unlike other models that provide a financial incentive to their owners to increase the bottom-line, INTEGRIS Heart Hospital's model aims to provide the highest level of quality cardiac services – it's the level of caring INTEGRIS Heart Hospital patients expect from one of the nation's Top 100 Heart Hospitals (ranked by HCIA, Inc. in 1999).
INTEGRIS Heart Hospital is one of the country's most successful and comprehensive cardiology delivery models. This level of excellence exists because INTEGRIS Heart Hospital embodies the essence of teamwork – where physicians, administrators and staff are closely aligned and work together. The team incorporates and practices only the best protocols and procedures. They provide a coordinated, measured and timely response while presenting a true collaborative spirit.
Our heart program reaches far beyond our home base hospital setting in Oklahoma City – it touches communities across the state. Starting with a few outreach clinics in 2000, INTEGRIS Heart Hospital now offers advanced heart care services at more than 37 clinics statewide
INTEGRIS Heart Hospital professionals have served Oklahoma City and surrounding communities with cardiology services longer than anyone. During those years, we performed more appropriately done procedures than any other program. INTEGRIS also performs procedures on the most unstable and critical patients, INTEGRIS Heart Hospital results are 80 percent better than predicted outcomes. The INTEGRIS Heart Hospital understands you have choices in where you go for heart care. We invite you to choose the INTEGRIS Heart Hospital as your heart health partner.
