Nearly 5,000 Organizations Nationwide Recognized for High-Quality Cardiovascular Care

The American Heart Association has acknowledged 4,859 health care and emergency response organizations across the United States for their dedication to enhancing health outcomes for individuals affected by heart disease, stroke, and related conditions. This recognition, part of the Association's Get With The Guidelines® and other quality improvement initiatives, underscores the critical role of evidence-based science in guiding treatment decisions to ensure timely, consistent, and research-supported care.

Among the awardees, 158 hospitals received a new Commitment to Quality award for high performance across three or more clinical areas, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to quality improvement in patient care. Donald Lloyd-Jones, M.D., Sc.M., FAHA, emphasized the importance of fast, coordinated, and science-based care for individuals experiencing heart attacks or strokes, noting the significant impact of these recognized organizations in communities nationwide.

With cardiovascular disease being a leading cause of death in the U.S., the Association's efforts to promote adherence to treatment guidelines are vital in helping patients recover faster, avoid complications, and reduce hospital readmissions.
