Cardiothoracic Surgery
Memorial Medical Center’s cardiothoracic surgical team has performed thousands of open heart procedures and is proud to have been providing services to our community for over 30 years. The skill and experience of our team provides the foundation for consistent, exemplary patient outcomes. Memorial Medical Center is proud to report our participation in the quality reporting registry, Society of Thoracic Surgery (also referred to as STS). Our participation allows us to nationally benchmark our services and patient outcomes not only nationally, but worldwide.

Cardiothoracic surgery is only performed after all other options have been fully explored, including interventional cardiology procedures that can sometimes avoid the need for surgery. If surgery is indeed required, patients and their families will meet with the members of our cardiothoracic surgical team and develop a multidisciplinary care approach that will follow evidence based practices.
