54 hospitals in Washington recognized for efforts to improve outcomes for individuals with heart disease and stroke
SEATTLE, July 29, 2025 — hospitals in Washington are among the 4,800 nationwide that participate in the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® initiative to improve outcomes for Americans who experience heart disease or stroke. Heart disease and stroke are the No. 2 and No. 5 causes of death in Washington, respectively. These health crises require swift and proven treatment to ensure the best outcomes for patients.
“Every 40 seconds, someone in America has a stroke or heart attack,” said Susie Woo, M.D., FACC, cardiologist and board president, American Heart Association, Washington. “High-quality care should be accessible to all and sites awarded through the Get With The Guidelines program help work toward our shared vision of health and hope for everyone, everywhere. Congratulations to these teams for their hard work and commitment to improving patient care in Washington.”
Each year, the American Heart Association, a global force changing the future of health for all, recognizes hospitals across the country for consistently following up-to-date, research-based guidelines to ensure all patients have access to lifesaving care.
