Who we are

At the Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital at North Shore University Hospital, patients recognize us for world-class care. And healthcare experts do, too. That’s why we’re one of only two cardiac programs in the U.S. and Canada to achieve the highest possible ranking in all areas of heart surgery from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons—a peer-reviewed rating system that’s one of the most respected measures of quality in health care.

Our surgeons have the experience and expertise necessary to perform a wide variety of surgical procedures, from minimally invasive surgery to heart transplantation. Their areas of surgical expertise include structural heart disease, heart valve repair and replacement, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), aortic aneurysms and dissections.

In addition to delivering the best care, we are also committed to providing access to exclusive clinical trials, developing groundbreaking treatments and leading the way in medical research that can change the future of cardiac care.

Care that follows you home

Our Follow Your Heart program

Your health is our top priority, even after you leave the hospital. That’s why we created Follow Your Heart, a free, optional home care service for cardiac surgery patients where nurse practitioners and physician assistants help keep you where you’re most comfortable—at home.
