<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Joseph's</strong> Team Understands That Time is Muscle<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Joseph's</strong> cardiac catheterization team is available 24 hours a day,<br />

7 days a week and is a critical component of <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Joseph's</strong> commitment<br />

to expediting care for patients experiencing AMI. Availability<br />

and commitment to meeting the needs of patients has led to a<br />

significant reduction in the time from a patient's presentation to<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Joseph’s Emergency Center to reperfusion. <strong>St</strong>. Joseph’s<br />

catheterization team continues to beat the national "door-toballoon"<br />

standard contributing to improved clinical outcomes.<br />
