Level 1 Cardiac Care Center
In the event a cardiac crisis does occur, no hospital is better equipped to ensure the best outcome.
Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital is the only Southwest Georgia hospital designated by the Georgia Department of Public Health as a Level 1 Emergency Cardiac Care Center — Georgia’s highest level of emergency cardiac care.
Our emergency cardiac services include cardiac catheterization and angioplasty to treat patients suffering from a heart attack, as well as advanced cardiothoracic surgery capabilities and the ability to perform other surgical procedures such as implanting automatic cardioverter defibrillators and percutaneous left ventricular assist devices.
Level 3 Cardiac Care Center
Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital (PPMH) in Albany and Phoebe Worth Medical Center (PWMC) in Sylvester have earned recognition
for their commitment to lifesaving emergency cardiac care. The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) re-designated PPMH as a Level 1 Emergency Cardiac Care Center (ECCC), and, for the first time, designated PWMC as a Level 3 Emergency Cardiac Care Center.
The Level 3 ECCC designation for Phoebe Worth means the hospital has validated its ability to stabilize a patient until they can be transferred to a Level 1 or Level 2 center.
