White Plains, N.Y., November 10, 2025 – White Plains Hospital announced today that its Cardiac Services Program has achieved numerous distinctions for exceptional clinical performance from Healthgrades, the #1 site Americans use when searching for a doctor or hospital.
White Plains Hospital’s latest national recognitions include:
- Specialty Excellence Awards™ for Cardiac Care and Coronary Intervention
- Five-star ratings for Valve Surgery, Coronary Interventional Procedures, and Heart Attack Treatment
- Excellence Awards for Cardiac Surgery, Cardiac Care, and Coronary Intervention
Healthgrades’ Specialty Excellence Awards place White Plains Hospital among the top 100 hospitals in the U.S. The Hospital was also ranked among the top 5% in the nation for Coronary Interventional Procedures and among the top 10% nationwide for Overall Cardiac Services, Cardiac Surgery and Coronary Interventional Procedures.
“Our comprehensive cardiac services program provides world-class, lifesaving care close to home for our community,” said Dr. Michael Palumbo, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at White Plains Hospital. “Since launching our Cardiac Surgery Program in 2021 and our Structural Heart Program in 2023, we have rapidly become the area’s leading choice for cardiac care – and our reputation for providing exceptional care in all major specialties is an achievement for which we are immensely proud.”
The Cardiac Services Program at White Plains Hospital – which earlier this year was awarded comprehensive heart attack center (CHAC) certification from The Joint Commission and American Heart Association – takes an innovative and comprehensive approach to the diagnosis, management and treatment of the wide range of heart-related conditions, formulating personalized treatment care plans for all patients at each step in their journey.
Through the Montefiore Cardiac Surgery Program at White Plains Hospital, the Hospital remains at the forefront of cardiac surgery, using state-of-the-art operating rooms and the latest technology to meet the specialized needs of every patient – including complex cardiothoracic procedures and open-heart surgeries – to become one of the premier destinations for top-quality and life-saving cardiac care in the Hudson Valley.
The Montefiore Structural Heart Program at White Plains Hospital provides patients with the most advanced minimally invasive procedures for complex conditions of the heart valve, including Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) – one of only two hospitals in Westchester County to offer that cutting-edge procedure – and treatment for patent foramen ovale (PFO), which if left unaddressed can lead to a stroke.
In addition, White Plains Hospital offers its community numerous options for the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. Its full-service Cardiac Catheterization Labs feature best-in-class equipment to optimally meet the demand of a growing number of patients who are in need of interventional and emergency coronary angioplasty.
Its Electrophysiology program has also quickly grown to become a regional destination for care for patients with atrial fibrillation (aFib), providing the latest, most advanced procedures to manage aFib and dramatically changing patients' lives for the better.
