Get Your Heart's Desire at Glendale Memorial

You're less likely to die from heart failure at Glendale Memorial Hospital on average than at other hospitals across the nation, according to an analysis of cardiac care from a federal agency.

The study released Thursday by The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) compares heart attack and heart failure death rates from more than 4,000 hospitals nationwide. Glendale Memorial is among the 38 hospitals where the heart failure death rate is below the national average of 11.1.

Here's the USA Today story and a list of how hospitals did. For more such statistics, check out this U.S. Department of Health and Human Sevices site.
