 As part of St. Mary's commitment to excellence, St. Mary's is raising the bar for cardiac care in Athens and Northeast Georgia. We are proud that St. Mary's in 2007 became one of the first 25 hospitals in the nation to be certified by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations as a center for the care and treatment of heart failure. Today, all of St. Mary’s ambulances are equipped with Remote EKG Transmission capabilities. Remote EKG speeds information about heart function to our emergency room physicians and to an on-call cardiologist.
