Welcome to St. Francis Hospital, The Heart Center.

As the regional leader in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease, the men and women of St. Francis work hard to deliver the highest quality health care in all its dimensions - scientific, technical, psychosocial and spiritual. We also strive to make the health care of tomorrow better through research and education.

The Hospital honors the tradition and values of our founders, the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, emphasizing respect for the individual and compassionate treatment for all. While holding the distinction of being New York State’s only designated cardiac center, we remain committed to both cardiac care and a wide range of medical and surgical specialties.

With one of the largest cardiac interventional and surgical caseloads in New York, near-perfect patient satisfaction ratings, and a Magnet Award-winning nursing staff, I am proud to say that St. Francis Hospital has the experience that makes a difference.

I encourage you to use our website to find one of our outstanding physicians, to explore our state-of-the-art clinical programs, or to participate in our comprehensive health and education programs.
