Deborah Heart and Lung Center has been named one of the nation’s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals by Thomson Reuters. The study examined the performance of more than 1,000 hospitals by analyzing outcomes for patients with heart failure and heart attacks and for those who received coronary bypass surgery and percutaneous coronary interventions such as angioplasties.

This is the first time Deborah has been recognized with this honor. This year’s winners were announced Nov. 14 in Modern Healthcare magazine.

“We are thrilled to have been recognized as an excellent cardiovascular hospital by Thomson Reuters,” said Joseph P. Chirichella, Deborah Heart and Lung Center President and CEO.
“As a specialty hospital we strive to provide the very best to our patients, including the most advanced and sophisticated procedures, cutting-edge technologies, and care available in the today’s high-tech cardiac environment. More importantly, our physicians, nurses, technical and support staff work very hard to make sure that our patients have the very best outcomes from their surgeries and procedures. Our after-care is of superior quality, rivaling that of our medical offerings. This combination means that our patients have access to state-of-the-art care, with excellent outcomes and will heal promptly, and properly, with minimal readmissions.”

“This year’s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals have continued to deliver excellent care and have been able to improve their performance in a tough economic climate," said Jean Chenoweth, senior vice president for performance improvement
