Where to Go

Since Sentara performed its first open-heart surgery in 1967, our cardiac programs have strengthened with the powerful cadence of a healthy heartbeat. Today, Sentara's heart program is among the nation's best - not because we say so. Because the numbers prove it.

Heart and Heart Surgery services at Sentara Heart Hospital and Kidney services at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital rank among the top 50 programs in the nation in the 2008 America’s Best Hospitals Edition of U.S. News & World Report magazine.

Marking its ninth year among the nation’s top heart programs, the cardiac program at Sentara Heart Hospital ranks 38th out of the top 50 hospitals listed. Drilling down further into the measurement criteria, Sentara Heart Hospital boasts a mortality ratio that is superior to seven of the top ten programs in the nation.
