Faces of Arkansas: The Face of Heart Health, CHI St. Vincent Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic

 

The CHI St. Vincent Heart Institute provides access to Arkansas’ largest and most diverse network of providers, serving more than 25 communities across the state. The institute is part of the CHI St. Vincent regional health network, which has served Arkansas since 1888, and part of CommonSpirit Health, a nonprofit Catholic health system. CommonSpirit Health is dedicated to advancing health for all people by creating healthier communities, delivering exceptional patient care and ensuring every person has access to quality health care.

 

U.S. News and World Report’s Best Regional Hospital Rankings recently named CHI St. Vincent Infirmary No. 1 in Arkansas for cardiology and cardiovascular surgery for the second year in a row. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons also awarded CHI St. Vincent Infirmary cardiovascular surgeons its highest-quality rating for Isolated CABG procedures in 2021. CABG procedures are used to treat coronary artery disease, and only 6 to 10 percent of participating groups receive this highest, three-star rating, placing the CHI St. Vincent Heart Institute among the elite cardiovascular surgery groups in the United States. The CHI St. Vincent Heart Institute is also partnering with Pennsylvania-based Penn Medicine to accelerate heart surgery research into innovative new approaches.

 

Heart Clinic Arkansas began more than 20 years ago and partnered with CHI St. Vincent in January 2012. The CHI St. Vincent Heart Institute has since grown to become the state’s largest group of cardiovascular surgeons.
