Center for Heart & Vascular Health goes red for Heart Month

Christiana Care’s Center for Heart & Vascular Health is awash in red lighting during the month of February to commemorate Heart Month.

The dramatic red glow spotlights the only center in the region to integrate services under one roof including cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, vascular interventional cardiology, cardiology and interventional nephrology.

Our prestigious cardiovascular program has earned a national reputation with gold achievement awards from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association and a three-star ranking for the third consecutive year from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons. The ranking places us among the top 12 percent of all U.S. heart surgery programs. In addition, Christiana Care ranks in the top 2 percent in the U.S. for advanced heart arrhythmia capabilities and is sixth in stroke volume. Last year we performed 588 open-heart cases and 4,790 cardiac catheterization cases.
