Methodist Hospital Among Becker's 100 Hospitals with Great Heart Programs

Becker's Hospital Review has named Methodist Hospital to the 2016 edition of its list of "100 hospitals and health systems with great heart programs."

The hospitals on this list lead the nation in cardiovascular healthcare. Many have pioneered groundbreaking procedures and are still pioneering breakthroughs today. All have received recognitions for top-of-the-line patient care.

To develop this list, the Becker's Hospital Review editorial team examined several reputable ranking and award agencies, including U.S. News & World Report rankings for cardiology and heart surgery, Truven Health Analytics' cardiovascular hospital rankings, CareChex rankings for cardiac care, Blue Distinction Centers for Cardiac Care, star ratings from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, Healthgrades cardiology awards and Magnet designation. Hospitals included in this list have received marks of distinction from these organizations.

It is important to note that hospitals cannot pay for inclusion on this list. This list is not a ranking. Organizations named to the list are presented in alphabetical order. 

Becker's Hospital Review is considered the leading hospital magazine for hospital business news and analysis for hospital and health system executives.
