Located in Port Jefferson, Northwell’s Mather Hospital recently earned two recognitions—and a partial third—all from the American Heart Association (AHA) for its remarkable medical treatment of patients who have suffered heart attacks.
The accolades include the Get With The Guidelines – Coronary Artery Disease NSTEMI Gold Award, the Get With The Guidelines – Coronary Artery Disease STEMI Receiving Center Gold Award, and the 2025 Mission: Lifeline System of Care Regional Award.
Respectively, these three awards applaud Mather for its rapid, research-based care of people experiencing both non-ST elevation myocardial infarction and ST elevation myocardial infarction, and their overall adherence to quality performance standards.
The hospital opened Cardiac Catheterization Lab in 2021. “To receive gold awards after just four years is a testament to our dedication to quality,” said Mather Hospital President Kevin McGeachy.
“Mather Hospital is dedicated to improving the quality of heart attack care and the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines program helps us achieve that goal,” he added. “The program puts proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis so patients have the best possible chance of survival.”
