About C4
It’s a new approach to heart care. SLUCare cardiologists and cardiac surgeons at Saint Louis University Hospital have developed a more patient-focused, individualized concept with the Center for Comprehensive Cardiovascular Care – the “C4.”
Co-directed by SLUCare physicians Michael Lim, MD and Richard Lee, MD, the new center is housed on the hospital’s main campus and is highlighted by their specialized team’s fusion of what are normally two separate services - cardiology and cardiac surgery. This ensures that heart patients have all their medical teams working collaboratively to provide the best possible care.
As a heart patient, it’s important to understand the potential repercussions that come with any treatment decision. Fortunately, you have the power to influence your overall cardiac care experience. Start by exploring your options. Empower yourself with better information to make the best decision for your heart health. Most importantly, partner with a proven team of cardiac specialists who will work to provide you with the best outcome possible.
As one of the region’s leading academic research institutions, Saint Louis University Hospital employs a truly comprehensive approach when it comes to cardiac care. Our heart program functions within a collaborative environment of cardiac specialists, delivering comprehensive heart care and offering more options.
