King’s Daughters Medical Center in Ashland has become the first hospital in the United States to achieve accreditation as a Heart Failure Institute by the Healthcare Accreditation Colloquium. Surveyors commended King’s Daughters for its outpatient heart failure management clinic, which provides ongoing patient management and rapid response to complications, as well as educating patients and their families about lifestyle adjustments. Since the clinic opened in 2006, there has been an 80 percent reduction in hospital admissions among the patients treated at the heart failure clinic.
