The Society of Chest Pain Centers has granted Baptist Heart Services, a division of Mississippi Baptist Medical Center, accreditation for its care of chest pain patients.

(PRWEB) April 29, 2006 -- The Society of Chest Pain Centers has granted Baptist Heart Services, a division of Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, Miss., accreditation for its care of chest pain patients. Baptist is the first hospital in the Metro Jackson area to receive this designation and establishes Baptist as a premier hospital for acute cardiac care in this area.

“This indicates nationally recognized experts have verified that heart attack patients receive the best possible care at Baptist, from the ER to the Cath lab,” said Baptist Emergency Department Medical Director Eric Zoog, M.D. “The society has very strict criteria and has determined Baptist performs well enough to receive the highest accreditation. To achieve this, we had to submit our process with both written analysis and pass an on-site investigation.”
