Accredited Echocardiography Lab (MGMC renewed in 2021-2024 and CRMC this year of 2022-2025)

Accredited Chest Pain Center 

Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care  

To receive accreditation as a Chest Pain Center, Chandler Regional underwent a rigorous evaluation by the Society. A visiting team reviews the medical center's ability to assess, diagnose, and treat patients who may be experiencing a heart attack. 

Chandler Regional met strict guidelines based upon the following:

  • Reducing the time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis and treatment;
  • Treating patients more quickly during the critical window of time when the integrity of the heart muscle can be preserved; and 
  • Monitoring patients when it is not certain that they are having a heart attack to ensure they are not sent home too quickly or needlessly admitted to the hospital.

Designation as a Cardiac Arrest Center 

Arizona Department of Health Services

Chandler Regional’s designation highlights our ability to provide comprehensive, leading-edge care to those experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest.

We had to meet the following criteria:

  • Cardiac intervention capabilities, which includes a cardiac catheterization lab and access to an interventional cardiologist 24 hours a day, seven days a week;
  • A therapeutic hypothermia method to cool patients for at least 24 hours after a cardiac event, which helps reduce the risk of brain damage; and
  • Coordination with with local emergency medical personnel to provide specific lifesaving protocols before the patient arrives at the hospital.
