Cardiac excellence again was the primary driver as Lankenau Medical Center, part of Main Line Health, received recognition as one of the 50 best hospitals in America in the nation in a Healthgrades survey.
Lankenau was recognized with the America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Surgery Award™ as well as the America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Care Award.™ It was the third straight year for the cardiac awards as well as the overall award. In addition, Lankenau received a Pulmonary Care Excellence Award.™
“Our focus is on Lankenau being a center for unmatched, cutting-edge care,” said Phillip Robinson, president, Lankenau Medical Center. “This honor validates the hard work and efforts of our team to give our patients the best treatment for their condition and personalized care. It is a credit to the cardiac leadership of William Gray, MD, and Basel Ramlawi, MD, FACC, and the entire group of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, nurses, advanced practice providers, technologists and staff members.”
