The Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery of the GHS Heart & Vascular Institute has demonstrated high-volume, high-quality service. Using quality improvement methodologies and a team approach, the division has made measurable improvements.
The division participates in national initiatives to improve the quality of care for cardiac surgery patients. In recent years, our patient outcomes, as measured by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) national database, have been far better than predicted for our high-risk surgical population. Our surgeons are proficient at all state-of-the-art cardiothoracic surgical procedures, and we continue to explore new avenues to improve and expand the surgical services offered at GHS.
