Cardiovascular Collaboration The Torrance Memorial Lundquist Lurie Cardiovascular Institute’s affiliation with Cedars-Sinai and our partnership with two South Bay cardiology practices – COR Healthcare Medical Associates, Torrance Memorial Physician Network South Bay Heart and community providers – allows our team to provide patients with convenient, seamless cardiovascular care, coordinated between Torrance Memorial and cardiology practice staff. Since 2016, the cardiac specialists from Torrance Memorial and Cedars-Sinai have been working together to bring outstanding cardiovascular care to the residents of the South Bay community. In 2019, Torrance Memorial and Cedars-Sinai furthered the extension of that partnership with the addition of Cedars-Sinai cardiothoracic surgeons who will practice alongside our already exceptional surgical team to provide the latest and best cardiac surgery options to our patients, right here in the South Bay.
