Experts in the care of your heart

Samaritan Heart & Vascular Institute

 
When it comes to your heart and vascular health, you want and deserve the best doctors, technology and medicine available. That’s why you can breathe easy knowing that the highest level of care is actually available in your own backyard—at Samaritan Heart & Vascular Institute.

Here, a multidisciplinary team of experts is dedicated to providing comprehensive, evidence-based health care to you and your family…it’s “big city” medicine with “small town” compassion. 

Our team is built on a foundation of the following core values:
  • Patient first
  • Multidisciplinary team approach
  • Researched-based, clinically-driven quality outcomes
  • Integrating the delivery of coordinated care
  • Easily accessible, timely care

Since the first open heart surgery was performed at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis in 1996, the hospital has become a recognized leader in heart and vascular care for quality, patient experience and outcomes.

In order to meet the growing demand for services, a five-story, 35,000-square-foot addition to Good Sam called the Ralph Hull Regional Heart Center was completed in 2002. At that time, a cardiac surgery team, a cardiology group, vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists all provided top-notch care to patients working within their own individual clinical practices.

In 2006, these physicians and surgeons came together to form Samaritan Heart & Vascular Institute. With the patient experience in mind, the groups have joined together as a comprehensive, center of excellence you can trust to provide you and your loved ones with the best care possible.


We are proud to provide outstanding health care to our Oregon communities including Albany, Corvallis, Eugene, Lebanon, Lincoln City, Newport, Salem and neighboring areas.
