Cardiac surgery in Illinois.

Illinois has 28 cardiac surgery programs, with Chicago serving as a national hub for cardiovascular innovation. Northwestern Memorial, Rush, and the University of Chicago are among the top-ranked cardiac programs in the country. However, downstate Illinois — particularly rural communities south of Springfield — faces significant gaps in cardiac surgical access. WhiteGloveMD provides Illinois patients with an independent, AI-augmented Heart Team review that evaluates their case against the best programs nationally.
