John C. Lincoln Hospitals:
Accredited Chest Pain Centers

"At an accredited Chest Pain Center, patients receive the highest standard of care available and are more likely to survive and recover quickly."                  —Tri Nguyen, MD                     Cardiology

Every 20 seconds, someone in America dies from heart disease. In fact, heart disease is the nation’s #1 killer—of men and women alike.

That's why John C. Lincoln Hospitals have sought and received accreditation as a Chest Pain Center with PCI (percutaneous cardiac intervention, also known as angioplasty), the highest national accreditation possible for emergency cardiac care.

Deer Valley and North Mountain hospitals are among only three in Phoenix—and six hospitals in Arizona—to receive this honor, which is granted by the Society of Chest Pain Centers.
