The Nork-Marash Medical Center is a teaching hospital and biomedical research facility in Yerevan, Armenia. It specializes in cardiac care and is affiliated with the Yerevan State Medical University. The center was founded in 1994 with the support of charity organizations from the Armenian Diaspora, particularly from the United States, United Kingdom, and France. It has since become one of the leading hospitals for cardiac surgery in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries.

The center consists of three clinical departments: cardiothoracic surgery, adult cardiology, and pediatric cardiology. It offers a range of services including open heart surgery, interventional cardiology, and minimally invasive cardiac surgery. In the past, the center also performed electrophysiological interventions and radiofrequency ablations, but these services have since been moved to the Arrhythmology Cardiology Center of Armenia at Erebouni Medical Center.

Through its charity projects, the Nork-Marash Medical Center has provided free cardiac surgical care for children from various countries including Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Georgia, and Syria. The center has also hosted visiting surgeons, such as Dr. Raffi Qasabian from Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Australia, who perform complex endovascular procedures.
