Ospedale del Cuore G. Pasquinucci

What Ospedale del Cuore G. Pasquinucci does

Ospedale del Cuore G. Pasquinucci is a tertiary cardiac specialty hospital operated by Fondazione Toscana Gabriele Monasterio, a public non-profit healthcare foundation governed by Regione Toscana in collaboration with CNR (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche). The hospital is part of the Servizio Sanitario della Toscana and provides comprehensive cardiovascular diagnosis, interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, electrophysiology, pediatric cardiac surgery, and advanced imaging (Nuclear Medicine, MRI, multimodal cardiovascular imaging) for patients of all ages. A second facility, Ospedale San Cataldo-CNR in Pisa, complements the Massa site with cardiology, pneumology, and laboratory medicine services. The center is organized into four clinical departments (Cardiotoracico, Pediatrico, Immagini, Area Critica) and is accredited by Joint Commission International, most recently confirmed in June 2026.

The foundation's revenue model is dominated by public funding through the Italian National Health Service (Servizio Sanitario della Toscana), with supplemental income from libera-professione (private professional) services, regulator-set ticket co-payments for outpatient services, and donations channeled through Fondazione Luigi Donato per Monasterio and the 5x1000 tax designation. Patient access is mediated by electronic prescriptions (valid for 180 days) and the unified booking center (CUP - Centro Unico Prenotazioni).

Research and clinical care are integrated through BioCardioLab, the Clinical and Pre-Clinical Imaging Laboratory, and a Clinical Trial Office with a dedicated Grant Office. The foundation operates a patient-facing mobile application (App Fondazione Monasterio Pazienti) and was ranked #1 in Italy for interventional cardiology procedures and #5 in Tuscany for pediatric cardiac surgery by the MeS Laboratory (Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna), with 1,300 cardiac surgeries performed in 2025.
