MeritCare Heart Center is a place for healing. Our goal each day is for patients and families to experience "heartfelt hospitality in a healing environment."
In 2009, MeritCare was nationally recognized as a 100 Top Heart Hospital by Thomson Reuters for the tenth time. MeritCare is now one of four hospitals nationwide that has earned this designation on ten separate occasions. Dennis Millirons, President of MeritCare Medical Center describes this achievement in the video below.

What separates MeritCare Heart Center from the rest? Every aspect of your care begins and ends at MeritCare Heart Center. Whether you're seeking prevention, treatment or rehabilitation, our experts are available any time of day or night. In times of an emergency, we assess your situation quickly and coordinate every aspect of your treatment. For many patients, blockages can be cleared in as little as 55 minutes with our balloon technique, when the national standard is 90. You may also take advantage of ground-breaking research that can prevent and treat future symptoms. While our national honors and recognized staff set us apart, our daily goal is to offer your heart unparalleled care.
