Door to Balloon Times Consistently Faster Than National Standard

Every second counts with a heart attack. Mercy consistently provides heart attack patients with “door to balloon” times faster than the national standard.

"Door to balloon" is the time it takes from when a patient enters the ER to when they receive life-saving intervention with heart vessel balloon angioplasty.

For stroke patients, Mercy is one of only 7% of U.S. hospitals to achieve stroke door-to-treatment time in less than 60 minutes. Faster times save lives in the Mercy ER.

Choose Mercy. You deserve the best.
