If you have a cardiac condition, trust your heart care to Lancaster General Heart Center. The Heart Center treats more cardiac care patients than any other hospital in the county. In the last 17 years, Lancaster General has performed well over 12,000 adult heart surgeries, and has a survival rate for open-heart surgery that’s one of the best in the nation.

Advanced Methods

The Heart Center uses some of the most advanced surgical procedures and non-invasive techniques to treat heart conditions. Several technological advancements, including digital echocardiography, can only be found locally at the Lancaster General Heart Center. Another innovation at Lancaster General involves use of a separate cardiac admissions unit (CAU) to care for patients who come into the Emergency Department with symptoms of a heart attack.
