If someone is experiencing a heart attack or another heart condition, it can be important they receive lifesaving treatment, and Wellstar patients don't have to travel far for expert, lifesaving care when they need it most. Seven of our medical centers recently received Get With The Guidelines recognitions from the American Heart Association for applying evidence-based treatment guidelines to improve patient care and outcomes.
