Y
our Health Journey
Recognized for Excellence
Dear Friends,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
At Parkridge Health System, we
start 2014 designated by The Joint
Commission as a Top Performer on
Key Quality Measures. This distinction
recognizes our dedication to
providing positive patient outcomes
using proven, evidence-based
treatment processes. Parkridge was
specifically honored for heart attack,
heart failure, pneumonia, surgical,
and inpatient psychiatric care.
We often feature those very service
lines in the pages of HealthChatt. On
pages 6 and 7 of this issue, you can
learn about heart health services at
Parkridge. Read about a day in the
life of a cardiac patient at Parkridge
Medical Center.
You can also read articles about
treatment and therapy for pelvic floor
disorders, ways to declutter your life,
steps to help prevent stroke, a guide
to better back health, and help for
those struggling with alcoholism.
We hope you enjoy this issue of
HealthChatt.
From Diagnosis

ry

cardiac symptoms until you've
