HCA HealthONE Swedish Recognized by American College of Cardiology for Three Heart Care Distinctions
HCA HealthONE Swedish has earned three American College of Cardiology recognitions for advanced cardiovascular care: Cardiac Cath Lab Accreditation with PCI, Chest Pain Center Accreditation with Primary PCI and Resuscitation, and Transcatheter Valve Certification. These distinctions highlight the hospital’s expertise in timely, coordinated care for patients with chest pain, heart attack symptoms, cardiac catheterization needs and transcatheter valve procedures.
Englewood, CO, June 14, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Hospital earns ACC Cardiac Cath Lab Accreditation with PCI, Chest Pain Center Accreditation with Primary PCI and Resuscitation, and Transcatheter Valve Certification
The American College of Cardiology has recognized HCA HealthONE Swedish for its demonstrated expertise and commitment to providing high-quality cardiovascular care, awarding the hospital three distinctions: Cardiac Cath Lab Accreditation with PCI, Chest Pain Center Accreditation with Primary PCI and Resuscitation, and Transcatheter Valve Certification.
These recognitions reflect HCA HealthONE Swedish’s ability to evaluate, diagnose and treat patients who come to the hospital with chest pain, heart attack symptoms, cardiac catheterization needs, and advanced structural heart conditions requiring transcatheter valve repair or replacement procedures.
“These recognitions reflect the strength of our cardiovascular program and the discipline of our teams in following evidence-based standards of care,” said Dr. Mary Laird Warner, chief medical officer of HCA HealthONE Swedish. “For patients, this means they can have confidence that our teams are prepared to deliver timely, coordinated and advanced heart care when it matters most.”
The ACC’s Cardiac Cath Lab Accreditation with PCI recognizes hospitals and outpatient facilities that have demonstrated exceptional competency in treating patients who require diagnostic catheterization and percutaneous coronary intervention, also known as coronary angioplasty. PCI is a non-surgical procedure that opens narrowed or blocked coronary arteries to relieve symptoms of heart disease or reduce heart damage during or after a heart attack.
The Chest Pain Center Accreditation with Primary PCI and Resuscitation recognizes hospitals that demonstrate expertise in treating patients with heart attack symptoms, maintain primary PCI availability 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and meet criteria related to chest pain protocols, post-cardiac arrest treatment and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest response.
The Transcatheter Valve Certification recognizes hospitals that demonstrate strong processes for multidisciplinary teams, formalized training, shared decision-making and registry performance related to transcatheter valve therapies. The certification uses established national clinical measures to support patient-centered decisions and connect quality improvement with patient outcomes.
“HCA HealthONE Swedish has shown a strong commitment to delivering outstanding heart care to the Denver community,” said Steven B. Deitelzweig, MD, MMM, FACC, chair of the ACC Accreditation Management Board. “ACC Accreditation Services is proud to recognize HCA HealthONE Swedish with these cardiovascular accreditations and certification.”
Facilities receiving these ACC recognitions must take part in rigorous clinical review processes, including gap analysis, evaluation of care standards, action planning, onsite review and ongoing monitoring for sustained success. These programs are designed to help hospitals implement guidelines, streamline processes, adopt best practices and improve outcomes for patients with cardiovascular conditions.
Together, these distinctions underscore HCA HealthONE Swedish’s role as a leader in advanced cardiovascular care and its commitment to delivering high-quality, evidence-based care when patients need it most.
