Join Cleveland Clinic’s Martin North Hospital where research and surgery are advanced, technology is leading-edge, patient care is world-class, and caregivers are family. This downtown Stuart hospital provides top-quality patient care to the communities in and around Martin County on the beautiful St. Lucie River.

The Electrophysiology Lab at Martin North Hospital specializes in the treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders and offers various procedures, including pacemaker/ICD implantation, ablation of cardiac arrhythmias and more.
