The eight achievement awards were the most of any hospital in Montana.
Logan Health Medical Center (LHMC) was recently awarded eight American Heart Association (AHA) achievement awards for their implementation of quality improvement measures that ensure cardiovascular patients receive efficient and coordinated care. This quality of care emphasizes Logan Health’s commitment to saving more lives, shortening recovery times and eliminating returns to the hospital.
Nearly half of all adults in the U.S. have experienced some form of cardiovascular disease – including heart attack, stroke and heart failure. For patients with conditions that are severe enough to be transported or admitted to a hospital, time is critical.
The American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline and Get With The Guidelines programs help reduce barriers to prompt treatment for cardiovascular events. As a participant in both Mission: Lifeline and Get With The Guidelines programs, Logan Health applied for the award recognition by demonstrating how the organization has committed to improving quality care for patients.
For the third year in a row, LHMC led all hospitals in the state in total number of achievement awards.
“We are thrilled once again to be recognized by the American Heart Association for our dedication to exceptional patient care,” says Nathaniel Hall, MD, physician executive of the Heart, Lung and Vascular service line at Logan Health Medical Center. “These awards directly reflect the commitment our cardiovascular and stroke teams have to improving the lives of our patients. We are extremely proud to offer such high-quality health care to the patients across this region and we look forward to raising the bar even higher in the coming years.”
