Mount Nittany Health’s cardiovascular rehabilitation program has been certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). This certification is recognition of the health system’s commitment to improving the quality of life of patients by enhancing standards of care.
“Our community can rely on us for exceptional care, and this recognition is a prime example of our commitment to delivering high quality, safe care, and our focus on putting patients first,” says Kathleen Rhine, president and CEO, Mount Nittany Health. “This accolade is an impressive achievement for the entire health system.”
In 2018, AACVPR moved to an outcomes-based process with performance measurements that represent more meaningful outcomes. Therefore, AACVPR-certified programs are leaders in the cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation field because they offer the most advanced practices available and have proven track records of high quality patient care. AACVPR program certification is valid for three years.
