Harlingen Medical Center Receives the 2017 Women’s Choice Award® One of America’s Best Hospitals for Heart Care
- Updated: March 31, 2017
Honor recognizes comprehensive care to treat heart disease, nation’s leading cause of death in women
Harlingen – Harlingen Medical Center has been named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Heart Care by the Women’s Choice Award®, America’s trusted referral source for the best in healthcare. The award signifies that Harlingen Medical Center is in the top 9% of 4,789 U.S. hospitals offering heart care services.
According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the No. 1 killer in American women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year—approximately one woman every minute. What’s often thought of as a “man’s disease” strikes more women than men, and is more deadly than all forms of cancer combined.
“With such strong prevalence of heart disease, every woman should know where to find the very best heart care before she ever has an incident,” said Delia Passi, founder and CEO of The Women’s Choice Award. “We help women by conducting evidence-based research and recognizing the hospitals that could one day save their lives.”
Harlingen Medical Center has been named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Heart Care by the Women’s Choice Award®, America’s trusted referral source for the best in healthcare. Members of The Cardiovascular Center team at Harlingen Medical Center include: (Front Row) L to R: Cardiologists’ Darren Ramoutar, M.D., Shereef Hilmy, M.D., Juan J.
