Southeast Hospital in Cape Girardeau, flagship of the SoutheastHEALTH system, has announced it has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval and the American Heart Association's Heart-Check mark for recertification as a Comprehensive Cardiac Center.
Hospital officials said the recertification came following "a rigorous, in-depth unannounced onsite review" earlier in 2021, according to a SoutheastHEALTH news release.
SoutheastHEALTH president and CEO Ken Bateman said the hospital was required to show excellence and exceed quality measurements in at least seven areas, among them — coronary artery bypass, heart failure and cardiac rehabilitation.
