PMC is Ranked Among the Best for Heart Care
For the third year in a row, Portneuf Medical Center has been recognized by the HealthGrades corporation for having some of the best heart care in the state of Idaho, receiving a five-star rating. The distinction now makes PMC the only hospital in Idaho to ever receive this award three years in a row in the field of coronary bypass surgery.
HealthGrades rates over 5,100 of the country's leading hospitals each year in 26 separate categories, with ratings being published each year from best to worst in each category.
The new 5-star rating is the result of the 2010 findings. The findings conclude there is a 51 percent lower chance of dying in a five-star rated hospital compared to the U.S. hospital average.
