"For the first time, St. John's Mercy Hospital has an integrated group of cardiologists dedicated to serving Washington. These cardiologists are committed to strengthening and expanding cardiology services for local residents. Patients who wish to stay in the community for cardiology services can do so and know that they are receiving exceptional care."
St. John's Mercy Heart and Vascular is a 17-physician cardiology group practice with offices in north, south and west St. Louis counties and Franklin County. Two of the group's cardiologists, Dr. Joseph Polizzi and Dr. John Brunts, currently practice out of the office located in the Mercy Medical Building at 851 E. Fifth St., Suite 304.
In addition to providing cardiology services locally, this agreement will enhance the ability to coordinate with specialists at St. John's Mercy Medical Center in St. Louis as necessary. For example, close collaboration between St. John's Mercy cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons from St. John's Mercy Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery allows for comprehensive treatment planning and care coordination for patients with heart disease.
The agreement between St. John's Mercy Hospital and St. John's Mercy Heart and Vascular is effective as of Nov. 16, 2009.
