Southlake Health has built on over a century of leading-edge care, consistently bringing innovative cardiac procedures and technologies closer to home. Through its Regional Cardiac Care Program, Southlake has become a recognized leader in minimally invasive cardiac surgery and advanced valve therapies.

In December 2024, Southlake achieved a historic milestone: the first hospital in North America to implant 1,000 sutureless heart valves using CORCYM’s Perceval platform. This achievement places Southlake among an elite group of healthcare organizations worldwide to reach this benchmark.
