My name is Sara Kuhn and I'm originally from Philadelphia, PA. I've been the Cardiac Rehabilitation Specialist at Saint Vincent's Hospital for three years now. I work with all the patients in the Cardiac Center to improve their heart condition. This goal is usually met by exercising, counseling, educating, and motivating each patient to their specific needs. On my free time I like to travel, read, go hiking, swim, and sight seeing. I love keeping in contact with ALL of my patients, whether they be new or old. If you have any questions, concerns, or just want to talk, PLEASE feel free to contact me anytime! My email is [email protected]. You can also find me on Twitter.com @SaraKuhnVHS and Facebook.com/Sara_kuhnVHS!
My name is Molly Daley and I'm originally from Pittsburgh, PA. I've been working at Saint Vincent's for a little over a year now(I'm the newbie). I studied Health Promotion at Edinboro University of PA and now work as a Nutritionist. The majority of the clients who come into the Cardiac Center have terrible eating habits, hence why they are suffering from heart disease and several other conditions. My duty is to sit down with each patient and give them specific guidelines on what they should be eating and how many calories they should take in each day. Tough love is how I get my patients to change their eating habits drastically if they want to see results. So far I've had no complaints and have had wonderful results. My email is [email protected]. Contact me with any questions that you think I could answer.
My name is Brandon LaVorgna and you can find me running around the halls in the Cardiac Center when I'm not in surgery. I went to Ohio state and have been working at this hospital for eight years now. I'm known for walking that extra mile with my patients. After heart surgery, patients can't and should not go through this process alone. I make sure I am available to all of my patients any time of the day(even when I'm not working). This has helped me become a better doctor because my patients approach me as a friend. Email me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. [email protected].

Hi! I'm Megan Hayes and I'm the personal trainer in the Cardiac Center. My job is to conduct exercise classes multiple times a day with five patients at a time. I made the classes this small intentionally, so that I can focus on each patient and give them the attention that they deserve. When I'm not working at Saint Vincent's, I travel to different states to find different exercises and routines that will work well with my patients. I am completely dedicated to my job and will do anything in my power to help them improve their lifestyle. My email is [email protected]. If you have any questions about exercising(even if you have not been disgnosed with heart disease) I will be happy to help!
Ashton Tate is my name and I have been the Head of the Cardiac Center since 2005. My duties include: hiring employees, making schedules, recruiting patients from different hospitals, supervising employees, consulting with patients, etc. I love working in the Cardiac Center because I get to socialize with people every day and I get to plan all of the events we have throughout the year. If you have any questions about our facility or want to become a patient at Saint Vincent's then you would want to get in contact with me. My email is [email protected].
Hi! My name is Stephanie Torok and I am a nurse on the Cardiac Floor. I have been working at Saint Vincent's for four years and I absolutely love it! I am an on-call nurse, which means I work full shifts during the day and I can get called back into work at night if they need more assistance with the patients. I'm originally from Erie, PA and studied at Gannon University. In my free time I like to spend time with my family, golf, play water polo, and teach fitness classes. I will be happy to help if you have a family member who cannot leave their home, but is having issues with their heart. My email is [email protected]!
