The Cardiovascular Program has been recognized by the Alabama Quality Assurance Foundation for excellence in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. The program has also been recognized as being in the top 10 percent of hospitals in the nation, and the best in the area, in response to heart attacks, based on American College of Cardiology and MIDAS data.
