Cincinnati, OH, September 4, 2026 — St. Elizabeth Healthcare, located in the Cincinnati Metro area, has received its fourth consecutive Comprehensive Cardiac Center (CCC) certification from The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association. This significant achievement underscores the institution’s ongoing commitment to providing integrated and high-quality cardiovascular care to the region.

The CCC certification signifies that St. Elizabeth Healthcare meets rigorous national standards for cardiovascular services. It is awarded to organizations that demonstrate an organized and comprehensive approach to patient care, distinguishing them from facilities that may offer cardiac services but lack the integrated, programmatic structure recognized by this certification.

The Joint Commission, in collaboration with the American Heart Association, developed the Comprehensive Cardiac Care certification to evaluate the full spectrum of cardiac patient care. This includes evaluating processes from initial diagnosis through treatment and rehabilitation. Achieving this certification for the fourth consecutive time indicates sustained excellence and adherence to best practices in cardiovascular medicine.

In addition to its cardiac care recognition, St. Elizabeth Healthcare was also acknowledged by U.S. News & World Report, which named the hospital as the #1 Hospital in the Cincinnati Metro area. This separate distinction further highlights the institution’s broad commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare across various medical disciplines.

The consistency of the CCC certification over multiple periods suggests a stable and effective framework for cardiovascular services at St. Elizabeth Healthcare. Details regarding the specific criteria evaluated for this certification cycle or the exact duration of the certification were not provided in the summary.
