At Morton Plant Hospital, we lead the way in cardiovascular care. Through our award-winning Morgan Heart Hospital, we perform more open-heart and interventional procedures than any other hospital in Pinellas County.
Each year, our nationally recognized heart program performs over 500 open-heart surgeries, 1,000 interventional procedures, and 2,700 diagnostic services — and those numbers continue to grow. Our experts lead the region in treating heart failure, complex rhythm disorders, and advanced structural heart and valve conditions.
We were the first hospital in Tampa Bay to offer the TAVR procedure for patients with severe aortic stenosis — a reflection of our commitment to innovation and excellence. Our team has completed more than 1,800 TAVR procedures, making us the most experienced program in the region.
Our Center for Advanced Valve and Structural Heart Care holds the Transcatheter Valve Certification from the American College of Cardiology — a mark of trust that utilizes national clinical databases and independent review to track patient safety and real-world outcomes. Thanks to our program’s high-quality outcomes, our physicians can offer the full range of valve procedures, along with access to leading-edge research and investigational therapies.
