Mercy Heart Institute

We are proud to introduce the Mercy Heart Institute, our region's premier cardiology program.
 
We've taken the legacy of the Baptist Heart Institute and St. Mary's heart program and partnered with East Tennessee Heart Consultants to create East Tennessee's premier cardiology center.
 
With 23 heart physicians, Mercy Heart Institute will have the largest, most experienced group of cardiologists in the region.

In addition, we'll offer the most sophisticated imaging, diagnostic and treatment technology available in medicine today, all under one roof. Well, three roofs actually, at three convenient locations: Mercy Medical Center St. Mary's, Mercy Medical Center West, and Mercy Medical Center North.
 
From education, diagnosis and emergency intervention, to treatment and rehabilitation, Mercy delivers advanced cardiac services and works to improve the health of our communities.

A heart attack can be devastating, but thanks to clinical trials at Mercy Health Partners in Knoxville, Tennessee, doctors are finding ways to not only treat early stage heart disease, but prevent it altogether. Dr. Charles Treasure has spent the last decade involved in clinical trials to help prevent heart damage.
