Good Samaritan Hospital’s Dayson Heart Center has been nationally recognized for its work in treating heart disease and stroke.
The hospital earned three “Get With The Guidelines” awards from the American Heart Association for meeting national standards in cardiovascular care.
The program tracks how hospitals follow evidence-based guidelines to improve outcomes for patients with heart attacks and strokes—two of the leading causes of death in the U.S.
According to the American Heart Association, consistent use of treatment protocols leads to shorter recovery times and fewer hospital readmissions.
Good Samaritan officials say the recognition reflects ongoing efforts to improve patient care across southwest Indiana and southeast Illinois.
