At 5C/5NE, we?re not just a cardiothorasic surgery step-down unit?we?re a team dedicated to healing hearts, every single day.

As a specialized cardiac unit at Thomas Jefferson Uiversity Hospital, we care for patients recovering from some of the most complex cardiovascular procedures, including CABG, valve replacements, and aortic surgeries. We also serve patients with CHF as well as many other medical cardiology diseases. 

We walk for our patients?the ones who fight through pain and setbacks with courage.
We walk for the families?who put their trust in us during the most vulnerable moments of their lives.
We walk because we see firsthand how critical heart health is?and how research, education, and advocacy can truly save lives.

By supporting the American Heart Association, we?re investing in the future of cardiovascular care?advancing breakthroughs that improve outcomes, expand access, and give every heart the best chance to keep beating strong.

Join us. Support us. Walk with us.
Because every step we take brings us closer to a world free of heart disease and stroke.

Healing Hearts, One Beat at a Time
