Called the silent epidemic, heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. A better lifestyle will help you reduce your risk for heart disease. In addition to our mission to treat heart disease, Sutter Heart & Vascular Institute also seeks to prevent the disease through education and early intervention.

Please also visit our Patient Services page where we offer a variety of education programs for the community through classes to assist our patients who are coping with heart disease.
