Penn Presbyterian - A Solucient Top 100 Cardiovascular Hospital
Health Tip of the Month
 

Congratulations to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center,
A Solucient Top 100 Cardiovascular Hospitals

The Solucient 100 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals award recognizes hospitals and medical centers with excellence in the delivery of cardiovascular services.

What does this mean for patient care?

  • Superior patient outcomes
  • Exceptional patient satisfaction
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Lower complication rates
  • Hospital-wide team approach
  • Friendly environment for patient care

“We were selected in the category of ‘teaching hospital with a cardiovascular residency program.'  The fact that we've now earned this honor for five consecutive years speaks to the consistency of the performance of our cardiovascular program, which values every member of the team working collaboratively in the best interest of the patient.”

Michele Volpe, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center

“It's important to note that we are a regional program treating many acutely ill patients, many who have come to our hospital after being referred by physicians in southern and central New Jersey and suburban Philadelphia.  Our program is so highly recognized that these patients are ‘stepping over' many other reputable programs in the area to come to ours for significant cardiac care.”

Harvey Waxman, MD, chief of cardiovascular medicine, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center
