Powerful Problems Call For Powerful Forces...
St. Elizabeth Medical Center 2008-2011 Vision Campaign

Cardiovascular disease and stroke cause more pain and death in America than nearly all other societal ills. For proof of this, you need look no further than the most recent health statistics, which show:

• The nation’s No. 1 killer is cardiovascular disease
• The nation’s No. 3 killer is stroke
• 770,000 Americans will suffer first-time heart attacks this year
• 430,000 Americans will have repeat heart attacks

Clearly, these killers are powerful problems that require the most powerful forces in American healthcare to fight effectively. In Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati, St. Elizabeth Medical Center leads the charge in that battle, just as we have since our founding in 1861. Under the sponsorship of the Diocese of Covington, St. Elizabeth has continually expanded its services over the past 147 years to meet the needs of the growing Tristate area by providing the highest quality of care and latest available medical technology.

This year, St. Elizabeth continues that tradition of excellence by launching a two-pronged initiative that firmly establishes the medical center as a world-class healthcare system.

• First, St. Elizabeth will bring the region a revolutionary medical imaging device of unparalleled capability in the diagnosis and prevention of heart disease and stroke.
• Next, we will roll out a state-of-the art mobile health unit that will vastly improve community access to the multitude of top-notch medical resources we offer.

These projects, along with our already established network of healthcare services and facilities, are continued proof of our commitment to leading the fight against cardiovascular disease and stroke, while always improving the community’s overall well-being.
