Three Logan Health hospitals were recently recognized by the American Heart Association for their implementation of quality improvement measures that ensure cardiovascular patients receive efficient and coordinated care. These quality-of-care achievements emphasize Logan Health’s commitment to saving more lives, shortening recovery times, and eliminating returns to the hospital.
Nearly half of all adults in the United States 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 the Get With The Guidelines program, Logan Health applied for the award recognition by demonstrating how the organization has committed to improving quality care for patients.
For the fifth year in a row, Logan Health Medical Center led all hospitals in the state in total number of achievement awards, with fourteen. This year Logan Health – Shelby also received three awards and Logan Health – Conrad received two, highlighting Logan Health’s commitment to rural cardiovascular care.
“At Logan Health, we believe in delivering the highest standard of care to our community,” says Kevin Abel, co-CEO of Logan Health. “Our teams’ dedication and hard work have made us a leader in cardiac care in Montana, and these awards are a testament to our ongoing commitment. We are proud to set the benchmark for excellence and look forward to advancing our care even further in the coming years.”
