Mercy General Designated as Chest Pain Center

Mercy General Hospital recently received full accreditation from the Accreditation Review Committee of the Society of Chest Pain Centers. Mercy General Hospital is the first and only accredited chest pain center in Sacramento, California.  

Meeting or exceeding a wide set of stringent criteria and completing on-site evaluations by the Society of Chest Pain Centers are required for accreditation.  Kudos to Dr. Skratt and his team of ED physicians, nurses and technicians, along with the Mercy Heart Team, in achieving this milestone.
