ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Certified Care™

The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has a long history of recognizing hospitals for their quality of care through certification designation. Recently, we embarked on a journey to improve patient care in the non-hospital setting with a greater focus on systems of care. In 2019, our first program was launched for skilled nursing facilities treating heart failure patients.

As our programs continue to expand, these programs are designed to standardize the coordination, adherence, and implementation of evidence-based care. Our mission is for patients and their families/caregivers to have the reassurance of choosing one of these certified organizations. This trust of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Heart-Check mark has been long recognized in other areas but now is the established seal for those seeking the best heart and stroke care.
