The American College of Cardiology has recognized Lowell General Hospital for its demonstrated expertise and commitment in treating patients who come to a cardiac cath lab for care.

Improved methods and strategies of caring for patients include streamlining processes, implementing guidelines and standards and adopting best practices in the care of cath lab patients.
