IRVINE, CA August 6, 2025 — Forty-five hospitals in Orange County, Inland Empire and the Coachella Valley 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. 1 and No. 5 causes of death in the United States, respectively. These health crises require swift and proven treatment to ensure the best outcomes for patients. The American Heart Association, celebrating 100 years of work to advance health and hope for everyone, everywhere, sets the standards for high-quality, science-based care and access that all patients deserve.
“Every 40 seconds, someone in America has a stroke or heart attack,” said American Heart Association Orange County/Inland Empire Board President, Mohammad Shafie, Associate Director, UCI Health Comprehensive Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center. “Hospitals participating and recognized through the Get With The Guidelines program help progress toward our shared vision of health and hope for everyone, everywhere.”
Each year, the American Heart Association recognizes hospitals across the country for consistently following up-to-date, research-based guidelines to ensure all patients have access to lifesaving care. Hospitals recognized in Orange County, Inland Empire and Coachella Valley as follows.
