Welcome from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Our association, established in 1964, is the world's largest professional organization of cardiothoracic surgeons, with more than 5,600 members. We are dedicated to improving patient health care while educating the public on critical issues related to the heart and lungs. Our Web site is a resource for patients who want to learn more about their conditions and treatment options, for medical students researching the profession, and for doctors interested in STS education programs, advocacy efforts and the renowned STS National Database. There is also information about a variety of other topics in which patients, members, legislators, industry leaders, medical professionals and others can learn about our unique and lifesaving specialty. So please take a moment to explore our site and all The Society of Thoracic Surgeons has to offer. We appreciate your interest and welcome your ideas and suggestions. Sincerely, W. Randolph Chitwood, Jr., MD |
