Care After Heart Surgery

Specialized Postsurgical Care

Following heart surgery, you’ll go directly to a private room in the Cardiac Surgery Recovery Unit. You’ll receive round-the-clock care and monitoring from your specialized care team — doctors, heart care nurses and other healthcare professionals.

In most cases, you’ll stay in the same room until you’re discharged from the hospital — we’re one of only a few hospitals in the area to offer this. This improves coordination and communication among your caregivers.

If you need additional monitoring, you may go to a Transitional Care Unit or our Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.
