A top cardiology and heart surgery program
Year after year, Children’s Mercy is recognized as one of the top cardiology and heart surgery programs in the nation by U.S. News and World Report.
Families choose Children’s Mercy because of our extensive experience, knowledgeable and personal care providers, and innovative research that translates into results. Our outcomes—the statistics that track how kids do after surgery—are one of the best ways to show how relentlessly our doctors are working to improve the lives of kids with heart conditions.
Children's Mercy is a Verified Children's Surgery Center, as designated by the American College of Surgeons. This means your child will receive the highest level of surgical care available.
