History
DEBORAH Heart and Lung Center was established in 1922 as a tuberculosis sanitarium and pulmonary center. Legend has it that DEBORAH's rural Burlington County location was key to recovery because of therapeutic pine barren air. In reality, thousands of TB patients were medically treated and successfully cured by Deborah physicians.
With the development of antibiotic medications, which eradicated TB, DEBORAH began expanding its focus to other chest diseases. In 1958, Dr. Charles Bailey, a pioneer in heart surgery, performed the first open heart surgery at Deborah. The specialty of cardiac diseases was immediately embraced and DEBORAH evolved into the only cardiac and pulmonary specialty hospital in NJ.
Today, DEBORAH offers the latest surgical techniques and non-surgical alternatives for diagnosing and treating all forms of cardiac, vascular and pulmonary diseases in adults, congenital and acquired heart defects in adults and children.
