Knapp Cardiac Care Center
Our new partnership with Winthrop, which brings their renowned cardiac team right here to our Center - and our on-site cardiac catheterization laboratory- deliver on our promise to provide the most advanced cardiovascular expertise to the patients we care for.
Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center and the Heart and Vascular Institute at Winthrop-University Hospital have formed a partnership to bring high-quality cardiac services to the community through the Knapp Cardiac Care Center's state-of-the-art Diagnostic Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory. The partnership utilizes Winthrop's expertise in cardiovascular care and has enhanced Brookhaven's capacity to provide care and services to people in the community.
Cardiac catheterization is an essential tool for diagnosing and guiding the treatment of heart disease. It enables Brookhaven cardiologists to visualize and assess the condition of the coronary arteries, and it provides vital information for treating blockages that can restrict blood flow to the heart.
