ROXBOROUGH MEMORIAL HOSPITAL RECEIVES PCI PROGRAM REACCREDITATION FROM CORAZON IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA
Philadelphia, PA, (10/25/2023) — Corazon, Inc., a national leader in services for the cardiovascular specialty based in Pittsburgh, has granted accreditation to the PCI program at Roxborough Memorial Hospital. Through a rigorous process, the accreditation proves that the program at Roxborough Memorial Hospital has once again met or exceeded the requirements established by the Pennsylvania Department of Health (PA DOH), in accordance with the procedures finalized in September of 2015, such as providing 24-hour coverage for PCI emergencies, undergoing detailed quarterly quality reviews to ensure outcomes and practices meet or exceed national standards, and other such factors.
Roxborough Memorial Hospital has demonstrated through their accreditation survey that they are committed to providing the highest quality level of care to their patient community. Their dedication, hard work, and exceptional leadership has afforded this opportunity in engaging their entire hospital team, enhancing their cardiac service line, thus allowing them to excel through achieving this accreditation.
“Our team’s dedication, hard work, and exceptional leadership have allowed Roxborough Memorial Hospital not only to meet but exceed expectations in interventional cardiac care,” said Michael Rogozinski, CNO of Roxborough Memorial Hospital. “We are pleased to be able to offer these services to the members of our community. This reaccreditation is a testament to the quality of our program.”
Corazon also offers consulting, recruitment, interim management, and IT solutions for the heart, vascular, neuroscience, and orthopedic specialties. The firm has worked with over 500 hospitals nationally to evaluate, re-engineer, or implement best-practice PCI programs. Corazon is a long-time champion for PCI with open heart surgery (OHS) off-site and assisted with the opening of the first PCI program of this type in Pennsylvania over 12 years ago. Corazon is also a State-Named Accrediting Body in the State of Michigan and has been a verifier for PCI programs in the state of Georgia for several years and was instrumental in building a consortium of hospitals to drive the legislative changes in Pennsylvania.
As an accrediting agency on behalf of the PADOH, Corazon helps to ensure life-saving PCI services are provided in communities across the Commonwealth.
