Diagnostic Lab TechniciansLab technicians support your care by performing diagnostic tests. They collect samples and analyze blood, tissue, urine, and other body substances to provide detailed information to help doctors identify your diagnosis.

Electrocardiogram (EKG) TechniciansThese technicians use EKG equipment to test and monitor your hearts electrical activity. Our technicians have years of expertise in all EKGs, including standard EKGs, exercise stress tests, and Holter monitoring.

EchosonographersEchosonographers are experienced in heart ultrasound techniques and technology, including stress echo, 3-D echo, and Doppler echo. Echocardiography creates moving images of your heart to help doctors diagnose and treat your heart condition.

Device CoordinatorsIf you need an implantable device, our device coordinators help navigate the process before, during, and after the procedure. They provide education about your device, the implantation procedure, and ongoing home care.
