Cardiopulmonary rehab

The Cardiac Cath Lab at Forest Park Hospital is staffed to provide 24-hour coverage for emergency cases. Cardiologists in the lab use some of the latest in radiographic digital equipment, which allows them to view images "tableside." The equipment produces crisp images and reduces the amount of radiation exposure to patients, staff and physicians.

The hospital provides a 10-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU), 12-bed Cardiac Care Unit (CCU), 8-bed step down unit (for CABG patients) and a 28-bed telemetry unit so that each heart patient can receive the appropriate level of care.

Physicians in the Forest Park Hospital heart care program are participating in Tenet Healthcare Corporation's "Partnership for Change," which seeks to provide the best possible outcome for patients undergoing CABG and other procedures.
