Borough Park
High standards
It’s a heartfelt huzza and hooray for the Cardiac Surgery Department at the Maimonides Heart and Vascular Center. The hospital is once again setting new standards in cardiac care. According to a recent report published by the New York State Department of Health, Maimonides is one of only two hospitals to achieve lower-than-expected re-admission rates for patients undergoing heart surgery.
Now that is heartwarming news.
“While this news is gratifying for our doctors and nurses, the real winners here are our patients,” said Dr. Greg Ribakove, Chief of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Maimonides Medical Center. “The low readmission rate means we are getting more and more folks back to health without setbacks.”
The good doctor explained, “In cardiac surgery we believe in minimizing risk.”
No setbacks, low risk, and up and about in shorter time — it’s a win-win-win for heart patients.
Standing O suggests that if the old ticker needs repair, look no further than the Maimonides Heart and Vascular Center. Your heart will be glad that you did.
