Quality Outcomes
You can expect high-quality treatment at CentraCare – St. Cloud Hospital. It has earned recognition from several organizations.
The American Heart Association honored us with a Get With the Guidelines Award. It shows we provide complete care for heart failure during and after a hospital stay.
U.S. News & World Report named us a high-performing hospital in 2024 for heart failure. This honor reflects our:
- High number of patients, meaning we’re very experienced
- High nurse staffing, meaning you get more personal attention
- Cardiac intensive care
Fortune Magazine named us one of the nation’s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals in 2023. Top hospitals have higher survival rates, fewer patients with complications, lower readmission rates and reduced costs. That means you’re less likely to need to come back to our hospital after heart failure care.
Clinical Trials Expand Your Options
You may have access to a new therapy before it’s widely available. That’s because CentraCare takes part in clinical trials for heart failure. Ask your cardiologist if a research study is right for you.
