LOS ANGELES, Aug. 7, 2025 — Fifty three hospitals in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties are among 4,800 nationwide that participate in the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® initiative to improve outcomes for people 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, dedicated to advancing health and hope for everyone, everywhere for more than 100 years, 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 cardiologist David Sato, MD, board president, American Heart Association Los Angeles. “High-quality care should be accessible to all, and sites awarded through the Get With The Guidelines program help advance 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. This year, 53 hospitals in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties were recognized:
