Why Go To An Accredited Chest Pain Center?

  • A study published by American Heart Association says mortality rates for heart attacks are 37% lower for those who go to a Chest Pain Center.
  • Not all heart attacks are sudden and intense. In many cases, the heart attack starts slowly with mild chest pain or discomfort.
  • Early symptoms occur in 50% of all heart attack patients.
  • It is not only the heart attack that can kill, but also the time wasted when trying to decide whether to go to the hospital to be checked. So don't delay! Don't take chances with chest pain.

If you have chest pain or other heart attack symptoms, call 9-1-1 and seek medical attention immediately at the Kettering Health Network accredited chest pain center nearest you!


What's An Accredited Chest Pain Center?

Only a few hundred hospitals nationwide are accredited by the Society of Chest Pain Centers and in the Dayton area, only the hospitals and emergency departments of the Kettering Health Network are accredited Chest Pain Centers.

  • Kettering Medical Center
  • Grandview Medical Center
  • Sycamore Medical Center
  • Southview Medical Center

When you come to our Emergency Departments, you can rely on us for the best emergency heart care in the Dayton area.

Our Chest Pain Center's protocol driven and systematic approach to patient management allows physicians to:

  • Reduce the time to treatment during the critical early stages of a heart attack, when treatments are most effective.
  • Monitor better to ensure that a patient is neither sent home too early nor needlessly admitted.
