Caring for Hearts, Close to Home

OSF Saint James-John W. Albrecht Medical Center offers quality cardiac services where you want them-right here in Pontiac. You don't have to leave the area for diagnosis and treatment of most cardiac-related conditions.

Occasionally, more specialized care or services not offered at OSF Saint James, become necessary. In that event, you can have a full cardiac work-up prior to surgery, as well as follow-up after surgery, right here in Pontiac.

The OSF Saint James cardiology staff is courteous and knowledgable, with lots of experience caring for people just like you. The staff is made up of people from the Pontiac community-qualified people who know you and care about you.
