For more than 167 years, Touro has been caring for the New Orleans community,
pioneering advancements in heart and vascular care since opening our doors in 1852.
From performing New Orleans' first open-heart surgery to leading modern
cardiac innovation today, Touro has long been at the forefront of cardiovascular
excellence. Our legacy is built not only on medical "firsts,"
but on the thousands of lives we've helped restore.
Personalized Heart & Vascular Care
No two hearts are the same.
That's why we tailor every treatment plan to the individual. Some patients
benefit from advanced surgical intervention. Others respond best to minimally
invasive procedures or medical management.
Using leading-edge diagnostics, including EKGs, echocardiography, and advanced
imaging - we combine precision technology with a deep understanding of
your personal health history to create the best path forward.
Every second counts during a heart attack, and at Touro, those seconds
work in your favor.
Our designation as a
Primary Heart Attack Center by The Joint Commission and the American Heart
Association means:
A specially trained cardiac team available 24/7
Streamlined emergency protocols
Advanced cardiac catheterization lab technology
Rapid diagnosis and treatment
Our goal is simple: save more heart muscle, shorten recovery time, and
help you return home to the people who matter most.
Where Standards Are Taken to Heart
We hold ourselves to the highest standards because your trust matters.
Touro voluntarily undergoes rigorous evaluations and maintains certifications
comparable to leading heart programs nationwide. Our commitment to quality
ensures that patients receive care that is safe, advanced, and consistently
improving.
