Heart and Vascular Care
at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway is an acute-care community
hospital offering cardiac patients across Union and Middlesex counties
expert care and follow up.
Our cardiac and vascular program provides a full complement of diagnostic testing and a multidisciplinary, integrated and patient-centric approach to care.
We provide a network of comprehensive cardiovascular and thoracic care options that produces results that exceed national quality benchmarks.
Our emergency angioplasty program has a door-to-balloon time well under the state and national average. This important measure refers to the time it takes for a person to receive an angioplasty from the time they walk in the door of the Emergency Department.
We recently opened a state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization laboratory, equipped with the latest generation of technology to provide rapid and comprehensive heart and vascular care for patients requiring life threatening emergency or scheduled procedures.
Our cardiac rehabilitation program is highly effective in preventing future cardiac events. We offer preventive and follow-up wellness services that can support you in your health journey, including nutrition, diabetes management and exercise through our fitness and wellness centers in Scotch Plains and Carteret.
