About St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center

St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center is Long Island’s safest, most-awarded heart program. The flagship of Catholic Health, Long Island’s only faith-based health care system, St. Francis is consistently ranked as one of the best hospitals in the nation for Heart & Vascular by U.S. News & World Report. For 2024/25, U.S. News also ranked St. Francis as among the nation’s best hospitals in seven other specialties: Orthopedics, Neurology & Neurosurgery, Gastroenterology & GI Surgery, Pulmonology & Lung Surgery, Geriatric Care, Urology and Diabetes & Endocrine Disorders.

St. Francis Heart Center’s award-winning cardiovascular services are available to patients throughout Long Island, accessible at fellow Catholic Health hospitals, including Good Samaritan University Hospital, Mercy Hospital, St. Joseph Hospital, and St. Catherine of Siena Hospital. For two years in a row, in 2023 and 2024, St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center was awarded the nationally recognized HeartCARE Center designation by The American College of Cardiology
(ACC)—the only ACC HeartCARE Center designation in our region, including the five boroughs of New York City, Long Island and Westchester, and is one of only two HeartCARE Centers in the state.
St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center has consistently been recognized as one of the safest hospitals in the country, receiving 23 “A” grades for safety from the Leapfrog Group—the most for any hospital in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens Counties. In 2024, St. Francis received its 5th consecutive 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare Services (CMS), the first hospital on Long Island to receive this 5 star ranking.  The St. Francis Hospital Nursing department has earned the prestigious Magnet designation
for nursing excellence four times in a row, an honor less than 9% of hospitals nationwide have received.
By providing care of the highest quality and safety, St. Francis Hospital
is raising the bar for the care of patients in Metro New York.
