Seattle Children’s Hospital

Seattle Children’s Heart Center outcomes are among the best in the nation for simple to complex heart procedures and transplants for children. We are a leader in treating pediatric congenital heart disease with one of the country’s largest programs, performing over 500 cardiac surgeries, 700 cardiac catheterizations, 800 prenatal evaluations, and an average of 16 heart transplants per year. Our heart center physicians and advanced practice providers are involved in education, research, and advocacy at a local and national level. From our hospital campus in Seattle to the Arctic Circle, our cardiac outreach program covers nearly a million square miles.

The pediatric cardiac critical care unit is a 24-bed medical-surgical unit managed by cardiac intensivists, APPs, cardiologists, and fellows. Nurses and respiratory therapists are trained to care for our sickest cardiac patients, provide neurodevelopmental care, and participate in quality improvement initiatives. We offer advanced therapies such as ventricular assist devices, ECLS, and continuous renal replacement therapies.

Our cardiac surgery APP team provides both inpatient and outpatient care for our cardiac surgery patients, including managing acute-care cardiac surgery patients and acting as first-assist in our cardiac operating room.

The Seattle Children’s mission is to provide hope, care and cures to help every child live the healthiest and most fulfilling life possible. Together, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Research Institute, and Foundation deliver superior patient care, identify new discoveries and treatments through research, and raise funds to create better futures for all pediatric patients. Ranked as one of the top children’s hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children’s serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical center for Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho – the largest region of any children’s hospital in the country.
