The Genesis Heart Surgery Team

The Genesis Heart Surgery Team has earned the highest possible quality rating from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons - the world's premier organization of cardiothoracic surgeons and researchers.

Award-Winning Care

This honor highlights our heart surgery program. Our outcomes were in the top 15 percent of participating hospitals in 2007, and we excelled in 17 quality measures.

The award supports what we've known all along:

Our patients receive top clinical performance each day from surgeons who live and practice in our community. It's why we've also earned designation as a United Healthcare Premium® Cardiac Care Center.
