Surgical Services

When it comes to surgery there's no substitute for years of hands-on experience. At St. Luke’s, our surgical teams care for more patients than other area hospitals. We’re also a regional leader in using advanced therapies and minimally-invasive surgical techniques to help patients feel better, faster. Whether you're being treated at our main campus SurgiCare or Surgery Center Cedar Rapids, you'll receive the very best care in a private, comfortable environment. It's no wonder we're Cedar Rapids' first choice for surgery.

100% private rooms

Surgical patients enjoy private rooms, with access to wide range of services and amenities to make your stay as restful and comfortable as possible.

Cedar Rapids' Heart Hospital

St. Luke's is recognized as one of the nation's top Heart Hospitals. Add to that the fact that we're the only hospital in Cedar Rapids performing open-heart surgeries, and you can see why we're Cedar Rapids' Heart Hospital.

Rapid Recovery for joint replacement

Healthcare Associated Infection Rates

At St. Luke’s, we continually work to provide the best care possible for our patients.  One way in which we do that is by constantly monitoring and working to eliminate healthcare-associated infections.  A recent Iowa Healthcare Collaborative (IHC) report shows the results of the 2011 study which outlines the progress Iowa Hospitals have achieved regarding reducing infections.  The results are below.
