Greenville, N.C – ECU Health’s East Carolina Heart Institute (ECHI) has earned four 3-star ratings, the highest rating possible, from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) for excellence in adult cardiac surgery. Based on outcomes from January 2022 through December 2024, these ratings place ECU Health among the leading cardiac surgery programs in the U.S. and Canada.
The STS star rating system is widely considered one of the most reliable tools for evaluating cardiothoracic surgical outcomes. Ratings are determined from the STS Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (ACSD), which assesses clinical outcomes, risk-adjusted performance, and adherence to evidence-based care standards.

Each recognition is based on voluntarily submitted data to the STS National Database, established in 1989 to improve patient safety and surgical outcomes. The database now includes more than 10 million surgical records from over 6,000 physicians and captures over 95% of adult cardiac surgeries performed in the U.S.
“Achieving top-tier ratings across multiple procedure categories speaks not only to the expertise of our team members but also to our ability to bring high-quality cardiac care to the 1.4 million people who call eastern North Carolina home,” said Dr. Michael Bates, professor and chief for the division of cardiac surgery at ECU Health and the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University. “These exceptional results support the trust our patients place in us and are a reflection of our commitment to earning that trust every case, every day.”
The 3-star ratings are in the following categories:
Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG)
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a procedure designed to improve blood flow to the heart by bypassing blocked arteries. ECU Health ranks in the top 20 percent of programs nationwide in this category. This marks the fifth consecutive year ECU Health has earned the 3-star rating, reflecting exceptional performance dating back to 2017. Historically, only 21 percent of participants achieve this top-tier rating. ECU Health performs an average of 500 CABGs per year.
Aortic Valve Replacement + CABG
Combining aortic valve replacement (AVR) with CABG involves treating both valve disease and coronary artery blockages in a single operation. This dual procedure is highly complex and requires extensive expertise. ECU Health’s program is recognized in the top 7 percent of centers nationwide for this category, a distinction typically earned by just 5 percent of participating institutions. The rating highlights the team’s precision, coordination, and skill in managing multifaceted cardiac cases. ECU Health performs about 40 Aortic Valve Replacement + CABG per year.
Mitral Valve Repair or Replacement (MVRR)
ECU Health earned its first 3-star rating for mitral valve repair or replacement, moving up from a previous 2-star designation. This improvement underscores significant advancements in surgical outcomes and patient care. ECU Health performs an average of 60 MVRRs per year. Only 11 percent of programs nationwide receive 3 stars in this category, making this achievement particularly notable.
Multiprocedural Composite Score
The STS introduced a new multiprocedural composite score this year evaluating outcomes across a range of cardiac surgeries, including CABG, AVR, MVRR and various combinations. ECU Health earned a 3-star rating in this category as well, placing it in the top 28 percent of participating programs. The rating reflects institutional excellence, consistency and a commitment to delivering high-quality care across a broad surgical spectrum.
ECHI is dedicated to advancing cardiovascular health through education, research, treatment, and prevention. ECHI brings together expert physicians and professional staff to deliver comprehensive, high-quality care for both adults and children.

Greenville, N.C – ECU Health and the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University (ECU)’s Maternal Outreach Through Telehealth for Rural Sites (MOTHeRS) Project received the 2025 Psychiatric Services Achievement Silver Award from the American Psychiatric Association (APA), recognizing its outstanding contributions to maternal mental health care in rural and underserved communities across eastern North Carolina.
Launched to combat widening maternal health disparities, the MOTHeRS Project delivers multidisciplinary care through a combination of both in-person and telehealth. It integrates maternal-fetal medicine, psychiatry, nutrition, diabetes education and behavioral health services directly into rural OBGYN clinics. This approach has saved pregnant patients more than 414,800 miles of travel, facilitated over 2,600 patient visits including behavioral health interventions and screened more than 41,000 patients for food insecurity.

“We are deeply honored by this national recognition, which highlights the impact of the MOTHeRS Project in delivering evidence-based, multidisciplinary care to mothers in rural and underserved communities,” said Dr. Sy Saeed, director of the ECU Center for Telepsychiatry, founding executive director of the North Carolina Statewide Telepsychiatry Program (NC-STeP) and the MOTHeRS Project. “The MOTHeRS Project proved to be an effective model for reaching mothers where they are physically, emotionally and mentally to help improve their overall well-being during pregnancy and after. This is a model built on collaboration and compassion and one we hope will inspire similar efforts in rural communities across the country and around the world.”
The APA’s Psychiatric Services Achievement Awards, established in 1949, recognize model programs that demonstrate innovation, collaborative care and commitment to mental health equity. The MOTHeRS Project was selected for its transformative impact on maternal mental health. Though maternal mental health conditions affect up to 12 percent of women postpartum, many go untreated due to stigma, lack of access and shortages of specialists. The MOTHeRS Project’s integrative telehealth model fills that gap, ensuring mothers can receive compassionate, timely and high-quality care close to home.
“Receiving this award is a reflection of ECU Health and the Brody School of Medicine’s shared commitment to academic medicine and creating new ways to address the complex social and structural barriers that affect maternal health,” said Dr. Michael Waldrum, CEO of ECU Health and dean of the Brody School of Medicine. “Through efforts like the MOTHeRS Project, we are fulfilling our mission to improve the health and well-being of eastern North Carolina. This recognition reinforces our vision of being the national model for rural health care and advancing health equity for mothers and their babies across the country. I am proud of the team behind this important and innovative work.”
MOTHeRS Project was supported by a generous gift of $1,250,000 to the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University from the United Health Foundation to expand access to health care and improve health outcomes for North Carolina’s mothers and babies.

Windsor, N.C. – ECU Health Bertie Hospital was recently named, for the second time, one of the top 20 critical access hospitals (CAHs) for patient satisfaction in the country.
The top 20 CAHs, including ECU Health Bertie Hospital, earned the highest scores among CAHs as determined by the Chartis Center for Rural Health for patient perspective/satisfaction. The recognition was recently announced by the National Rural Health Association (NRHA). An awards ceremony will be held during NRHA’s Critical Access Hospital Conference in September in Kansas City, Mo.
A Critical Access Hospital (CAH) is a classification assigned by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to qualifying rural hospitals across the United States. These facilities play a crucial role in enhancing health care accessibility for rural communities by delivering essential medical services and receiving cost-based reimbursement for Medicare-covered treatments.

The top 20 CAHs have achieved success in overall performance based on a composite rating from eight measures of strength: inpatient market share, outpatient market share, quality, outcomes, patient perspective, cost, charge and finance. This group was selected from the Chartis Center for Rural Health’s 2025 top 100 CAH list, which was released earlier this year.
The top 20 CAH best practice recipients have achieved success in one of two key areas of performance:
- Quality index: A rating of hospital performance based on the percentile rank across rural-relevant process of care measures.
- Patient perspective index: A rating of hospital performance based on the percentile rank across all 10 HCAHPS domains.
“ECU Health Bertie Hospital is proud of the efforts of the physicians and team members who have contributed to our hospital achieving this designation,” says Brian Harvill, president of ECU Health Bertie Hospital. “Our results as a top 20 critical access hospital for patient satisfaction means our community can count on us to deliver the services they need now and in the future. This recognition highlights our deep commitment to serving our rural mission of improving the health and well-being of eastern North Carolina.”
“In a Critical Access Hospital, every patient touchpoint is an opportunity to make a profound impact,” said Dr. Julie Kennedy Oehlert, chief experience officer, ECU Health. “Excellent patient experience is not just a goal; it’s the manifestation of living our values and our commitment to safe, highly reliable, human-centered care, ensuring that every individual feels valued, heard, and feels that we have created a caring environment that helps them heal. The team at ECU Health Bertie Hospital consistently delivers on the ECU Health mission, vision and values in service to our patients and communities every single day.”
