Women's Heart Center

Most women don’t realize that heart disease, not cancer, is the leading cause of death. Despite being the leading killer among women in the U.S., heart disease is mistakenly considered by many to be a “man’s disease.” However, women have the same risk as men, and their risk and the incidence of heart disease increases rapidly after age 40.

Bakersfield Heart Hospital created the Women’s Heart Center to provide early detection through education, information and preventive screening services to help women understand their risk for heart disease and take steps to improve their heart health. Our program is the first of its kind in Kern County, and has screened over 5,000 men and women since opening in 2013.

Larry Hallum

I thought something was wrong, and had been to other doctors, but they couldn’t find anything. My wife suggested The Women’s Heart Center at Bakersfield Heart Hospital. Thank heavens they started seeing men in the Center, because I was a walking time bomb. The Women’s Heart Center gave me a complete Heart Health Checkup and referred me for a test that found I had 90% blockage. That test, and Bakersfield Heart Hospital Women’s Heart Center, saved my life. Guys, you need to go in.
