In 2006, Saint Agnes joined with Stanford Medical Center to create the Stanford Cardiothoracic Surgery Program at Saint Agnes, gaining the depth and support of an academic medical center committed to advancing the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
By bringing this elevated level of expertise to the Valley, local patients who might have had to travel to Stanford for treatment of complicated cases will not have to leave home to receive the very best in cardiovascular care.
We are excited about what this collaboration means for Valley patients as we work together to achieve the highest quality of care and the best clinical outcomes.
