AHA recognizes Memorial for quality cardiac care

The American Heart Association recently recognized Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center as a participating hospital in its Get With the Guidelines – Coronary Artery Disease (GWTG-CAD) program.

GWTG–CAD helps ensure continuous quality improvement of heart attack treatment and prevention.  It focuses on care team protocols to ensure that patients are treated and discharged properly.
