The Best Cardiac Care Hospitals in the Great Plains Region

In the most recent (21-22) U.S. News & World Report survey of American hospitals, close to 600 hospitals were scored on their effectiveness at providing adult cardiac care, including heart surgery.  In this analysis, hospitals were examined on various metrics pertaining to their experience and outcomes with adult cardiac patients, the breadth of their adult cardiology programs, and the degree of distinction a hospital has earned within the adult cardiology care community.  Among the top 50 rated U.S. hospitals for adult cardiac care in 21-22, six were based in the seven-state Great Plains region. This included the Mayo Clinic, the 2nd highest rated cardiac care hospital in the country. Here's a quick rundown of the six Great Plains region medical institutions that made the top 50 and where they ranked nationally for adult cardiac care in the 21-22 survey:
