Cardiology
Both Physicians Regional - Collier Blvd. and Physicians Regional - Pine Ridge have received full Chest Pain Center Accreditation with PCI from the American College of Cardiology. An Accredited Chest Pain Center’s (CPC) evidence-based, protocol-driven and systematic approach to cardiac patient care allows clinicians to reduce time to treatment during the critical early stages of a heart attack. Accredited facilities monitor patients when it is not initially clear whether or not a patient is having a coronary event.
Accredited Echocardiography Centers
Both Physicians Regional Healthcare System locations are Accredited Echocardiography Centers. Patients can rely on accreditation as an indication that the facility performing their examination has made a commitment to providing quality testing for the diagnosis of heart disease and disorders.
