Through this partnership, CentraCare’s top-ranked cardiologists will provide weekly coverage at Tri-County’s Wadena location.
CentraCare – St. Cloud Hospital is one of the leading providers of heart and vascular care in the nation. In an annual ranking, which evaluates nearly 5,000 hospitals, U.S. News & World Report ranked the hospital in the country’s Top-50 for cardiology and heart surgery. The rankings are based on outcomes and experience, nurse staffing, patient services and more.

The team of cardiologists will offer cardiac diagnostic testing like EKGs, Holter monitoring and vascular ultrasounds, and offer advice on cardiac nutrition and atrial fibrillation management. Providers will also answer questions about open-heart surgery and other related procedures.
It is recommended to consult a cardiologist if you experience chest pain, have high blood pressure, shortness of breath, palpitations or dizziness, diabetes, a history of smoking or high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, family history of heart disease, peripheral arterial disease or are inactive and planning to start an exercise routine.
