—Dr. Chris White, Adult Cardiac & Heart Failure Surgeon | Division Head of Cardiac Surgery | SJRH

“My surgeon saved my life and came to see me every day. That’s the kind of care you get here at the New Brunswick Heart Centre. We’re so fortunate to have this level of care - it gave me back time, and that’s priceless.”
—Gary Crossman, NB Heart Centre grateful patient
Every complex surgery can change a life
A Hybrid OR blends a traditional operating room with advanced imaging technology, allowing surgeons to see inside the body in real time while performing minimally invasive procedures.
That means fewer and smaller incisions, faster recovery and better outcomes.
