Partnership Overview

Corazon and Columbia HeartSource have partnered to set a new standard for excellence in open heart surgery accreditation.


This collaboration brings together Corazon’s nationally recognized expertise in cardiovascular program development and accreditation with Columbia HeartSource’s world‑class, physician‑led clinical guidance. Together, our shared mission is to help hospitals deliver safer, more effective care for their cardiac surgery patients.

What the Partnership Means for Hospitals

Hospitals benefit from:

  • Independent, physician‑led chart reviews from Columbia’s board‑certified cardiac surgeons
  • Evidence‑based evaluation using the latest clinical guidelines
  • Insightful feedback to strengthen program quality and surgical outcomes
  • A clear path toward accreditation in a market where Corazon is the only provider of Open Heart Surgery Accreditation in the country
  • Increased confidence for physicians, leaders, and patients through external validation

What this Means for Communities

When hospitals elevate their standards, communities benefit. This partnership helps ensure:

  • Safer, higher‑quality cardiac surgery care
  • Better long‑term outcomes for heart patients
  • Access to programs that meet nationally recognized benchmarks of excellence
  • More transparency and trust for the public
