The Heart Hospital was awarded re-accreditation by the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP), the nation’s original independent, accreditation organization recognized by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Accreditation confirms that The Heart Hospital is providing high quality care as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.
“We are committed to providing an excellent patient care experience in a unique environment that promotes prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of heart and vascular disease,” said Becky Malotte, Executive Director and Chief Nursing Officer. “Receiving HFAP accreditation is an external symbol of the talent and dedication of our doctors, nurses, providers, and staff.”
