ROXBOROUGH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL RECEIVES PCI PROGRAM RE-ACCREDITATION FROM CORAZON IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA
PHILADELPHIA (October 21, 2025) — Corazon, a national leader in cardiovascular specialty services based in Pittsburgh, has granted accreditation to the PCI program at Roxborough Memorial Hospital. This accreditation, achieved through a rigorous evaluation process, confirms that the program has once again met or exceeded the stringent requirements set by the Pennsylvania Department of Health (PA DOH). Key components of this accreditation include providing 24-hour coverage for PCI emergencies and undergoing detailed quarterly quality reviews to ensure that outcomes and practices consistently meet or exceed national standards.
Roxborough Memorial Hospital has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to delivering the highest quality of care to its patient community. This achievement reflects the dedication, hard work, and exceptional leadership of the entire hospital team, who have worked collaboratively to enhance their cardiac service line and secure this important accreditation.
Shawn Parekh, CEO of Roxborough Memorial Hospital, stated, “Achieving this accreditation is a testament to our team’s relentless pursuit of excellence in patient care. We are proud to provide our community with access to life-saving PCI services, and this recognition reinforces our commitment to improving health outcomes for those we serve.”
In addition to its accreditation efforts, Corazon offers a range of consulting, recruitment, interim management, and IT solutions tailored for the heart, vascular, neuroscience, and orthopedic specialties. The firm has collaborated with over 700 hospitals nationally to evaluate, re-engineer, or implement best-practice PCI programs. Corazon has long championed PCI with off-site open-heart surgery (OHS) and played a pivotal role in launching the first PCI program of this type in Pennsylvania over 12 years ago. As a State-Named Accrediting Body in Michigan and a verifier for PCI programs in Georgia, Corazon has also been instrumental in advocating for legislative changes in Pennsylvania through the formation of a hospital consortium.
As an accrediting agency on behalf of the PADOH, Corazon is dedicated to ensuring that life-saving PCI services are available in communities across the Commonwealth, further solidifying the importance of quality care in cardiovascular health.
