As highly skilled clinicians and respected colleagues, PAs proudly advance this standard of excellence. PAs are highly respected collaborators, working as a part of a cohesive team to ensure the care and caring of our patients and their families while being committed to our culture of Putting Patients First. NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital was recognized by IBM Watson Health™ as one of the 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals™ in the United States for inpatient cardiovascular services. Our cardiothoracic surgeons are affiliated with the prestigious Weill Cornell Medicine. They are recognized leaders in the field of cardiothoracic surgery and include PAs in the performance of an expansive range of cardiac procedures including coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair and replacement (including TAVR), aneurysm repairs, arrhythmia ablation, and even ECMO.
