Emphasis on Minimally Invasive Approaches

Patients benefit through less pain and blood loss, reduced risk of infection, shorter hospital stays, faster recovery and minimal scarring.

National Recognition
Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes has been recognized by Healthgrades as being among the best hospitals in the nation for cardiac care.

Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes is a state-designated Comprehensive Stroke Center, and has been honored by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association for using evidence-based treatment protocols.

Our neurosurgical team—available 24/7—performs endovascular and microsurgery in an advanced hybrid operating room. Our neurosurgery team uses innovative X-ray technology to create a three-dimensional roadmap of blood vessels within the brain, allowing for precise treatment.

Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes began performing organs transplants in 1974 and, today, is the only provider of kidney, liver and pancreas transplants in South Jersey.

Patients benefit from a dedicated team of highly qualified, board-certified physicians, radiologists, nurse coordinators, social workers, dietitians and pharmacists providing compassionate, state-of-the-art care. Coordinated, personalized care has helped us to achieve excellent results, with outcomes among the best in the greater Philadelphia area.

And, patients choosing the Center for Organ Transplantation at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes can be assured by its long-time certification from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes is uniquely positioned to allow individuals to take advantage of both the New Jersey Sharing Network and Gift of Life of southeastern Pennsylvania organ donor programs. Patients who opt to dual/multiple list increase their chances of receiving a transplant.

Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes delivers 24/7 care for all pediatric and adult emergencies. 

A direct-to-bed approach for patient assessments assures that patients are seen in the shortest time possible by the most appropriate health care providers. Patient registration occurs directly at the bedside and all records are electronically generated and archived.

The department works closely with our cardiologists and nurses to ensure cardiac patients receive rapid, appropriate treatment. In addition, Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes is one of the few hospitals in the region conducting electrical cardioversion in the ER for patients with irregular heart rhythms. Patients who have the procedure often are able to return home the same day instead of being admitted to the hospital.
