The Lynn Heart & Vascular Institute was named one of the Top Hospitals with Great Cardiovascular Programs by Becker’s Hospital Review along with some of the most well-regarded hospitals and health systems in the United States; including The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Cleveland Clinic, Duke University Medical Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
