With the most experience in Central New York, we have what it takes to keep hearts healthy.

Your heart is what keeps you moving forward. It keeps us moving forward, too. We’ve pioneered groundbreaking cardiac procedures with robotics to consistently deliver unparalleled outcomes in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and more.

We perform more cardiac surgeries than anyone else in the area while consistently exceeding national quality benchmarks. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons recognizes us as one of the top 20 hospitals in the nation for cardiac surgery. Further, Healthgrades ranks us among the best hospitals in the U.S. for heart surgery.
