Crouse Receives National Quality Recognition for Heart Failure Care

Last June, Crouse became the first hospital in New York State to become a nationally accredited Heart Failure Center as designated by the Society of Chest Pain Centers (Crouse also has national Chest Pain Center accreditation).

This week, members of our Cardiac Care team were presented with a Silver ‘Get With the Guidelines’ performance achievement award from the American Heart Association for providing a consistently high level of care to cardiac patients using the most up-to-date guidelines and recommendations.

Shown here accepting the award are (l-r) Lynn Shopiro, RN, nurse manager for 4 South Irving (Crouse’s cardiac care unit); Lorissa Plis, RN, PhD, manager of Cardiac Care Services; and Rob Pikarsky, director of Cardiac Care Services.
