The Heart Institute at Staten Island University Hospital (a joint venture with Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers of New York, Staten Island Region) brings this new service to Staten Island and nearby Brooklyn residents.

The state-of-the-art Heart Institute is outfitted with two technologically advanced cardiothoracic operating rooms, two angioplasty rooms supported by cardiac catheterization units, a 10-bed cardiac cath holding and recovery area and a 10-bed cardiac surgery recovery area. These programs occupy two floors and 30,000 sq. ft. of a new, 103,000 sq. ft., six-story patient services tower.

Other floors of the patient services tower now being readied for occupancy contain a 16-bed Coronary Care Unit, a 20-bed Medical/ Surgical/Neurological Intensive Care Unit and a Rehab Therapy and Renal Dialysis Unit.
