When U.S. News & World Report reported our cardiac survival rates were the third best in the country, some were surprised. After all, that put us ahead of some of the finest institutions in the world. We weren’t surprised. We’ve worked hard to get where we are today, assembling world-class talent, stressing ongoing training in the latest techniques and employing every available option to speed the recovery of our patients.
Our success could save – and enhance - your life
Cardiac care and heart surgery patients at our heart center experience significantly lower mortality, stroke, heart attack and infection rates than the national average. And our patient satisfaction rankings are consistently in the 99th percentile, the highest possible.

The difference of academic heart care
As part of an academic medical center, we’re able to stay in sync with best-available care techniques and therapies through leading-edge research. Our state-of-the-art Center for Advanced Heart Care, staffed by experienced and caring cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, anesthesiologists and cardiac nurses, is much more than a heart attack center or cardiology clinic. It’s a place of healing and of new beginnings.
