Led by Dr. Arthur Katz, the most respected cardiac surgeon in the region, a remarkably strong team of anesthesiologists, heart and vascular specialists, nurses and O.R. staff use the latest techniques and technological advances to deliver high success rates, low complication rates and the best patient outcomes. Completed procedures include coronary bypass surgeries, valve replacements and atrial fibrillation ablations, with further cardiovascular service line development also underway.

 

The Heart & Vascular Institute is devoted to providing patients with the safest and highest quality care through a full continuum including wellness and prevention, noninvasive diagnostic procedures, interventional cardiology, advanced electrophysiology for cardiac arrhythmias, open heart surgery and cardiac rehabilitation, all right here in Palm Beach County.

 

Consumers in South Florida today have choices about where to receive their healthcare. Jupiter Medical Center is No. 1 for quality, safety and patient satisfaction in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, and is the only hospital in Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River Counties to receive a 4-star quality and safety rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

 

In addition, Jupiter Medical Center earned a Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade “A” in Fall 2020—the only hospital in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast to do so. Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades are assigned by the respected national non-profit watchdog organization to more than 2,600 general acute-care hospitals across the nation and are considered “the gold standard of patient safety.”

 

These national distinctions have been earned because of Jupiter Medical Center’s commitment and strong performance on numerous measures of quality and safety.

 

The Jupiter Medical Center Cardiac Care Program provides the latest imaging and diagnostic services and performs advanced procedures in state-of-the-art facilities using cutting-edge technologies to treat a broad range of heart conditions.

 

Facilities include: three cardiac catheterization labs; an electrophysiology lab; two cardiac surgery operating rooms; an 8-bed cardiovascular intensive care unit; dedicated acute recovery unit; and a cardiac rehabilitation center.

 

Many on the team of experienced, board-certified cardiologists and cardiac surgeons at Jupiter Medical Center have specialty training in interventional techniques of catheter-based treatment of coronary artery disease.

 

The team also includes cardiologists who are board-certified in electrophysiology (the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation.) Jupiter Medical Center now offers the WATCHMAN™ implant for non-valvular atrial fibrillation for those patients seeking treatment without use of blood thinners. These heart specialists also perform pacemaker and defibrillator implants in the Jupiter Medical Center cardiac catheterization lab.
