Elliot Health System adds heart surgery to existing cardiovascular services for comprehensive cardiac care

Elliot Health System is pleased to announce that it is launching a Cardiothoracic Surgery Program with plans to offer open heart surgery to patients starting in January 2026. This critical step forward expands upon the existing expertise of The Elliot cardiovascular team, which provides patients with the latest technology and care including advanced cardiac imaging, advanced heart failure treatment, interventional cardiology, cardiac rehabilitation, electrophysiology, nuclear cardiology, and cardio-oncology.

“As Manchester’s most comprehensive nonprofit health system, we are laser-focused on delivering on our mission to best care for our community. To fulfill this promise, we continue to evolve with the hard work and dedication of our staff and providers—expanding our services to ensure every individual receives the comprehensive care they deserve,” said Elliot Health System President and CEO Dr. Greg Baxter. “With the transformative step of adding heart surgery to our existing expertise in cardiovascular care, The Elliot can offer patients a fully comprehensive range of cardiac care services with outstanding surgeons and providers who are proven and have served the greater Manchester community for decades.”

The Elliot’s cardiovascular team has grown throughout 2024 with additional Board-certified cardiologists. In Fall 2025, a newly dedicated location will open on the Elliot Hospital campus for cardiovascular services to best serve patients.
