FirstHealth Moore Regional Hospital has been recognized by Money as one of the best hospitals for cardiac care in 2024.
To determine the best hospitals for cardiac care, Money compiled and analyzed more than125,000 data points. The list of best hospitals for cardiac care are those that stand out among all short-term, acute-care hospitals in the country and offer deep expertise based on data that reflects the overall experience of the cardiologists and other heart specialists who work at each hospital.
Additionally, the selection considers the hospital’s affiliation with the American College of Cardiology and their achievement of other awards, designations and distinctions, as well as the hospital’s commitment to price transparency.
