French Hospital Medical Center is proud to announce it has been named one of the Top 100 Hospitals with Great Heart Programs by Becker’s Hospital Review. French is one of just seven hospitals in California to receive such an honor.
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. French has made strides to combat this statistic through innovative clinical research, high-quality care and state-of-the-art treatments. French has also extended their services beyond the confines of their facilities by educating their local communities about heart health, helping sharpen our country’s focus on preventive care and population health.
French was selected for this honor based not only on clinical accolades, but also for the recognition of quality care and contributions to the fields of cardiology and cardiovascular surgery. French Hospital has been set apart for excellence in heart care and research by prominent and reputable healthcare sources and associations, including U.S. News & World Report, HealthGrades, Truven Analytics (formerly Thomson Reuters) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center. These organizations have most honored French with the Distinguished Hospital Award, Excellence in the treatment of Heart Care and Stroke, The Top 50 Cardiac Hospital in the Nation Award and the Top 100 Hospital in the Nation Award.
“We are honored to receive such a prestigious accolade that is not only for quality outcomes, but for education, prevention and population management outside of our hospital walls,” said Alan Iftiniuk, president and CEO of French Hospital.
