It is home to several key regional referral programs including burns, interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, structural heart program, electrophysiology, endovascular treatment, extracorporeal life support (ECMO), neurosurgery, stroke, trauma and vascular surgery.
We run the largest adult cardiac surgical centre in Ontario, providing life-changing care for our patients and meaningful, challenging and rewarding work for our teams. We typically perform more than 1,800 cardiac surgeries every year, including complex structural heart reconstructions and thoracic aortic aneurysm repairs, as well as minimally invasive and catheter-based percutaneous valve repairs and ROSS procedures.
