Why the Heart Institute at Cincinnati Children's?
For 19 consecutive years, U.S. News & World Report has ranked our Heart Institute one of the nation’s top pediatric cardiology and heart surgery programs, including seven years through our Joint Pediatric and Congenital Heart Program with Golisano Children’s at UK.
The Heart Institute is one of the largest pediatric and congenital cardiology programs in the nation with more than 135 world-renowned physicians, researchers and fellows, which currently includes 7 cardiothoracic surgery faculty, approximately 60 pediatric cardiologists and 10 basic science research faculty, in addition to several jointly appointed faculty, as well as adjunct and staff positions.
As a result of our research performance, we consistently rank as one of the top three pediatric departments in the country for extramural support. In 2022 Cincinnati Children’s Hospital set a new all-time record, totaling more than $283 million dollars awarded from extramural grants and contracts.
