WMH receives reaccreditation for cardiac programs

Wayne Memorial Hospital has earned reaccreditation from Corazon for both its Chest Pain Center and Cath/PCI program. Corazon, a national leader in cardiovascular specialty services based in Pittsburgh, granted the reaccreditations following a rigorous review process. Both programs at Wayne Memorial Hospital met or exceeded Corazon’s Accreditation Standards, national societal guidelines and requirements established by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Wayne Memorial’s successful reaccreditation reflects the work of physicians, nurses, technicians and staff throughout the hospital who work together to provide timely, coordinated care. Wayne Memorial’s Cath/PCI program provides interventional cardiac services for patients who may need procedures such as cardiac catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
