Westchester Medical Center is now offering same-day appointments for patients with non-emergency heart concerns.
The Same-Day Cardiology Program is available at the Valhalla-based facility weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Individuals who request an initial appointment between 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. will be scheduled for the same day and appointment requests after 2:00 p.m. will occur within 24 hours, except for weekends and holidays. Appointments will include a consultation with a cardiologist, and electrocardiogram, blood pressure measurement and (if clinically indicated) a blood draw for lab analysis and echocardiogram.
“Our primary goal with the Same-Day Cardiology Program at Westchester Medical Center is to care for as many people as we can before there is a serious issue and emergent care is necessary,”™”™ said Gabbie Fried, vice president of cardiovascular services. “Heart disease is so prevalent and we want everyone to be mindful of their heart health and take the necessary steps to address concerns before they become serious.”
