Open for Care: Heart Center
The Phoenix Children’s Heart Center has world-class experience across a broad spectrum of care, bringing together teams from various programs and fields of study to deliver the best care to our patients. We're proud to provide advanced care for simple and complex heart conditions — all with your family at the top of our mind.
Our work centers on inpatient and outpatient pediatric cardiac care services for infants, children and teens with congenital heart defects, rhythm disturbances, heart failure and other cardiac-related problems. Our long history in the field has made us the go-to regional referral center in the Southwest — we’re also the fifth largest pediatric cardiac program in the U.S.
The availability of varied cardiac clinical staff on Phoenix Children's campus means even the most complex patients can receive all of their care in one place — this means better outcomes and ongoing follow-up.
