The heart program at Sanford leads the way in quality, innovative procedures and care, all centered on the patient and their families. The Sanford heart program consists of highly skilled cardiologist, surgeons and staff who believe patients come first. Sanford Heart Hospital is different from other facilities in the region because patients are directly connected to a full-service hospital. Should a patient need another specialty provider for any reason, they are only steps away. Comfort and convenience – it’s what families have come to expect from Sanford.
