The Joint Commission awards WellStar Kennestone Hospital 3 Gold certifications for cardiac care

Marietta, Ga.-based WellStar Kennestone Hospital received the Joint Commission Gold Seal Disease-Specific Certification for heart valve, coronary artery bypass surgery and congestive heart failure.

WellStar Kennestone's heart program is one of only two in the nation to achieve certification in all three areas.

The Joint Commission granted the certifications after surveying the hospital's heart program and evaluating its clinical teams, processes and patient outcomes.

WellStar Kennestone cites its individualized patient care plans and use of innovative technologies — like the CardioMEMS to monitor stage 3 heart failure patients — as just a few reasons for achieving the designation.
