In 1969, The Jewish Hospital became one of the first hospitals in the area to establish an open-heart surgery program. In 1996, The Jewish Hospital moved its renowned cardiovascular services program from the former Jewish Hospital of Cincinnati to its current home, The Jewish Hospital in Kenwood, to better meet the needs of Cincinnati's suburban residents.

Awards and Recognition

In 2005, Jewish Hospital joined other nationally ranked hospitals as a UnitedHealth Premium Cardiac Specialty Center

To receive this designation, Jewish Hospital had to meet UnitedHealthcare’s extensive evidenced-based quality criteria. The criteria were developed with input from a panel of leading cardiac experts and based on guidelines set by the American College of Cardiology, the Society for Thoracic Surgeons, the North American Society for Pacing and Electrophysiology, and the Leapfrog Group, a coalition of more than 150 public and private organizations that provide health care benefits.

Open-Heart Surgery

The Jewish Hospital was the first in the Tristate to do open-heart surgery in a suburban location, but our experience with open-heart procedures dates back long before that. In fact, we've been doing open-heart procedures since the late 1960s, and since then we've done more than 10,000. We do more than 350 open-heart surgeries every year at The Jewish Hospital in Kenwood.

Cardiac Catheterization

When it comes to cardiac catheterization procedures like angiograms, angioplasty or coronary stents, our knowledge and expertise is among the best in the nation. We do thousands of cardiac catherizations at The Jewish Hospital annually.

Cardiac Rehabilitation

The Jewish Hospital was the first in the Tri-state to establish a cardiac rehabilitation program. The cardiac rehabilitation program helps cardiac patients lead better, healthier lives through education and exercise. The program is staffed by cardiac nurses, dietitians and exercise specialists. They provide direction and support in exercise, low-fat diets, stress reduction, smoking cessation and other healthful practices. Programs are customized to meet the needs of each patient. The cardiac rehabilitation program is for patients recovering from coronary bypass surgery, angina (chest pain), angioplasty and heart attacks. It's also beneficial for patients dealing with circulation problems, diabetes, lung problems and valve disorders. back to top
