If you want to live a long, active life (most of us do!), then you must understand the importance of heart health. Your heart beats about 100,000 times a day and powers your entire body. The better you take care of your heart, the better it will take care of you.

At Logansport Memorial Hospital, we are always striving to provide the best, and most up-to-date, care for our patients, in all aspects of their visit. Updating technology and care systems plays a big role in providing that high standard of care. Our most recent improvement in our cardiac and pulmonary rehab department is a new system that benefits both our staff and patients.
