The Heart Center is a dedicated hospital service-line that carries the mission of providing state-of-the-art, cost-effective care to our patients with congenital and acquired heart disease regardless of age. The Heart Center has over 24,000 out-patient encounters per year including multiple specialty clinics (e.g. Fontan, muscular dystrophy, preventive care, cardiogenetic). The in-patient medical discharges average 1300/yr including more than 450 annual surgeries. The Heart Center has 50 cardiologists and four cardiothoracic surgeons, a dedicated 20-bed CTICU and 24-bed cardiac stepdown unit, and a dedicated administration team. Excellent services in cardiac intensive and stepdown care, catheterization and intervention, non-invasive imaging, electrophysiology, heart failure and heart/heart-lung/lung transplantation are on-site. The Heart Center has a robust adult congenital heart service. The population served includes the regional population, a large number of referred cases for advanced intervention and surgery, an extensive state-wide outpatient network (pediatric and adult congenital) and patients managed with regional partners including the newly formed Congenital Heart Collaborative.

Our program is integrated with the Center for Cardiovascular Research as well as the Center for Genomic Research. Nationwide Children’s Hospital is a 696 bed stand-alone children’s hospital and is the pediatric teaching facility for The Ohio State University School of Medicine.
