Parkview receives national accreditations in heart care<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Society of Chest Pain Centers has granted Parkview Hospital new national accreditations in two areas.<\/p>\n

The Parkview Hospital Congestive Heart Treatment Unit is now an Accredited Acute Heart Failure Center, Cycle 1. The accreditation is new for Parkview and a new designation by the Society of Chest Pain Centers. Parkview is the only hospital in northeast Indiana with the designation.<\/p>\n

Parkview Hospital demonstrated its expertise and commitment to quality patient care by meeting or exceeding a wide set of stringent criteria and completing on-site evaluations by a review team from the Society of Chest Pain Centers.
