I received and email here at my DiscoverNorthSeattle.com blog from Katie Pope, of Northwest Hospital. She wanted to let me know that Northwest Hospital was ranked "Best in Region" for cardiac surgery.
Katie wants people in North Seattle and the surrounding areas to know that you don't need to go downtown to receive world class cardiac services, and she's right. According to the hospital's press release,
"Northwest Hospital & Medical Center announced today that HealthGrades, the leading independent healthcare ratings organization, has named the hospital's cardiac surgery program the best in Seattle, Bellevue and Tacoma for 2010. The recognition is based HealthGrades' twelfth annual Hospital Quality in America study, released on October 13. The study also gave Northwest Hospital five-star ratings in stroke, heart valve replacement, pneumonia care and appendectomy."
I've lived in North Seattle for about 25 years and have yet to use the services at Northwest Hospital, but it's good to know we have such talent and dedication to excellence in our own back yard. Thanks for the head's-up, Katie!
