Saint Francis Health System’s Saint Francis Heart and Vascular Institute consists of 28 cardiologists, 20 advanced practice providers, three cardiothoracic surgeons and one vascular surgeon. As the largest cardiovascular and thoracic program in the state, Saint Francis has one of the busiest structural cardiology programs in the state of Oklahoma, and its transcatheter aortic valve replacement and Watchman programs see the most traffic in the state. It is home to one of the most successful cardiac MRI programs in the state, the only dedicated cardiac PET scanner in Tulsa, and is No. 1 for catheter ablations. As the majority of the state is rural, the program is also expanding its cardiology outreach clinics in order to see patients closer to their homes. Saint Francis Hospital was named the No. 1 hospital in Oklahoma for the sixth time by U.S. News & World Report and ranked as high-performing in abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, heart attack and heart failure.
