Touro is known for providing life-saving care for more than 167 years.
Touro has been pioneering Heart Care in New Orleans since we opened our
doors in 1852. Since the late 19th century, Touro has been at the heart
of innovative cardiac and blood vessel surgery with a string of medical
“firsts” including performing New Orleans’ first open
heart surgery.
Using diagnostic equipment to help save lives
We believe that every patient deserves an approach that’s tailor-made
for them. We know that some patients benefit from surgical intervention,
while others respond better to alternative treatments. That’s why,
while providing the latest in advanced vascular treatment and technology
through EKGs, echocardiography, and other tools, we always take into consideration
all we know about you in order to help you achieve your best outcome.
Primary Heart Attack Center
Every second counts when a heart attack strikes. At Touro, those seconds
work in your favor. Our new Primary Heart Attack Center certification
from The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association confirms
that a specially trained cardiac team, streamlined protocols, and advanced
cath-lab technology are ready around the clock. From the instant you arrive,
we fast-track diagnosis and treatment to save more heart muscle, shorten
recovery, and send you home to the people who love you most. At Touro,
proven expertise meets wholehearted care.
Where standards are taken to heart
Touro believes in delivering the highest standards of care to each patient,
whether we’re simply helping them make better decisions for heart
and vascular health or deciding on the best treatment options. We don’t
take the trust you have in us lightly. You can feel comfortable knowing
we’re invested in your care, so much so, that we voluntarily undergo
rigorous surveys and reviews comparable to the best heart care programs
nationwide.
