Chicago, Ill.: Recognized for delivering exceptional patient care, the cardiovascular program at Advocate Trinity Hospital is among the finest in Chicago and Illinois for treating congestive heart failure, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2018-2019 Best Hospitals list.
Today, Advocate Trinity was recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a high performing hospital in the area of treating patients with congestive heart failure.
“We are proud of this special recognition, which acknowledges our commitment to addressing health conditions that effect Chicago’s Southeast Side residents most,” says Jacquelyn Whitten, Advocate Trinity Hospital Interim President. “Heart disease – including congestive heart failure– touches the majority of our patients and individuals living in the surrounding community. Our medical staff is highly attuned to this fact. Therefore, Advocate Trinity combines high-quality treatment options with culturally-relevant patient education and support activities to maximize patient outcomes.”
