Accredited Chest Pain Center
Mat-Su Regional Medical Center is the first hospital in Alaska to earn accreditation as a Chest Pain Center from the American College of Cardiology. Our protocol-driven approach to heart care allows us to reduce time to treatment during the critical first stages of a heart attack.
To receive this accreditation, we integrated the industry's best practices and newest models into our cardiac care services. We work seamlessly with emergency services and other departments within our hospital to ensure patients get the treatment they need.
When patients come to Mat-Su Regional Medical Center's emergency room complaining of chest pain or discomfort, they receive immediate treatment to avoid as much heart damage as possible. The sooner a heart attack is treated, the less damage is done to the heart.
