Chest Pain Center Speeds Diagnosis & Treatment for Heart Attack Patients

If you believe you are having a heart attack, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY for transport. Do NOT drive to the hospital. EMS staff will begin treatment as soon as they arrive.

The McLeod Chest Pain Center located within the Emergency Department in Florence, SC is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by experienced health care professionals, who are especially trained in recognizing and treating a heart attack. The Chest Pain Center treats patients just a few paces away from McLeod’s state-of-the-art interventional technology and diagnostics, as well as heart catheterization labs and premier open heart surgery suites.
