Health Disparities & Cardiovascular Disease

Don’t Put Off the Care You Need.

St. Elizabeth recognizes that health disparities have affected people of color in our communities. In particular, heart disease has a bigger impact on minorities and those with less access to healthcare. Our commitment to diverse communities is to help improve lives. We believe we can work together with the community to improve health disparities through early diagnosis, improving access to physicians, and community outreach programs.

For heart disease, early detection is key. If you have concerns about your heart health, talk to your primary care provider or make an appointment with a cardiologist. Or schedule a simple, convenient cardiovascular screening on our Mobile Health Unit.

St. Elizabeth is recognized as a regional and national leader in heart care with outcomes second to none in Greater Cincinnati. Certified by The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association as a Comprehensive Cardiac Center, we are dedicated to better heart care for all, personalized for you.

At St. Elizabeth, we are dedicated to you and your family, and to working together to recognize differences, address disparities, and make our community a healthier place for all.
