The Sentara heart hospital is a state health department which is a destination medical
centre that provided emergency care to the heart patient. It offers quality and comprehensive
heart care treatment using advanced diagnosis and imaging for minimum invasive heart surgery.
The unique feature of the state health care department is that they have efficient staffs to provide

severe cardiac disease, it also offers online and offline services to the individuals who require
cardiac care the most. It operates more than a hundred services including 12 acute care hospitals
of 1911 beds, 380 primary care and multi-specialty physicians who are able to provide patient-
centric care. Accumulated evidence suggested that the unique features of the hospital are that the
patients who live nearest to the hospital and require emergency heart services, the hospital
provides air transportation services to them in order to provide faster services to the required
patient (Pagani et al. 2015). The core function is to provide cardiac care. The diverse range of
services were provided by the hospital are including 24/ 7 emergency care, cardiac rehabilitation,
community screening, and heart catheterization and interventional cardiology, heart failure
management, heart rhythmic management, pacemaker device implantation, and preventive
cardiology as well as TAVR screening. The communication is the key to health care services as
observed for the Sentara heart hospital. According to Mulukutla et al. (2018), the majority of the
heart professional in many states failed to engage patients in therapeutic communication and
