Dartmouth Health was included in Becker’s Hospital Review’s annual ranking of 100 hospitals and health systems with great heart programs. Institutions on the list were included for their exceptional cardiovascular care, strong patient outcomes, their use of life-saving technologies, and cardiology research that is shaping and advancing the field. Other honorees include Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, Mass General Brigham, and Mayo Clinic.

Becker’s praised Dartmouth Health’s Heart and Vascular Center (HVC) for providing expert, coordinated care across the full spectrum of cardiovascular disease. It also noted HVC’s research contributions to advances in cardiovascular medicine through investigator-initiated studies, national clinical trials and population-based research that frequently shape standards of care, as well as its commitment to education, training the next generation of cardiovascular specialists in an environment that emphasizes excellence and compassion

“This national recognition highlights programs that demonstrate clinical excellence, innovation, and a strong commitment to patient-centered cardiovascular care,” said David B. Min, MD, section chief of cardiovascular medicine at Dartmouth Health’s Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. “Being named among the top 100 cardiology programs by Becker’s is a direct reflection of the incredible work happening across our entire Heart and Vascular Center every day.”
