HCA Florida Northside Hospital today announced it has received a 3-star rating for multi-procedural cardiac care from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), placing Northside Hospital among the nation’s top-performing hospitals for heart procedures.

The STS star rating system is one of the most respected measures of quality in cardiothoracic surgery and is based on outcomes including mortality, complications, and adherence to best practices.

Backed by experienced cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons, the program delivers coordinated, patient-centered care — from prevention through recovery.
Northside Hospital continues to invest in innovative technologies and clinical excellence to ensure patients in Pinellas County and surrounding communities have access to nationally recognized heart care.
The hospital was also previously recognized in several areas of heart care by Healthgrades, one of the nation’s top sites for Americans to find quality healthcare.
