How we're making a difference in heart health
The heart is one of the most important organs in the human body. Our physician-scientists are committed to keeping it healthy, so patients can lead active, full lives.
Home to the nation’s highest performing heart transplant program and one of the most comprehensive robotic heart surgery programs in the country, UChicago Medicine’s Heart & Vascular Center offers life-saving treatments not available at other hospitals and gives hope to patients with the most complex cardiac conditions.

Shaping the future of cardiovascular care
Innovation rarely happens in a silo. It takes a combination of resources and cross-boundary imagination to generate ideas that will change practice or improve the patient experience. Our Heart and Vascular Center is designed to make that happen
