The Women’s Choice Award® for Heart Care signifies that San Antonio Regional Hospital is in the top 1% of of almost 5,000 U.S. hospitals offering heart care services.


Recognizing comprehensive care to treat heart disease, the nation’s leading cause of death for women

Upland, CA – December 15, 2024 – San Antonio Regional Hospital has been recognized as one of America’s Best Hospitals for Heart Care by the Women’s Choice Award®.  This award signifies that San Antonio Regional Hospital is in the top 1% of 4,675 U.S. hospitals offering heart care services.

According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the No. 1 killer of American women, causing 1 in 3 deaths each year—approximately one woman every minute.  What’s often thought of as a “man’s disease” strikes more women than men, and is more deadly than all forms of cancer combined.

“Heart disease is the leading killer of women,” said Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women’s Choice Award.  “With such strong prevalence of heart disease in women, we want every woman to know where to find the very best heart care before she ever has an incident.”

The methodology used to select San Antonio Regional Hospital as one of the Best Hospitals for Heart Care is unique in that it evaluates: 
  • The number of cardiac/vascular services offered. Recognized hospitals must offer at least six of the following services: Cardiac Catheter Lab, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Cardiac Surgery, Carotid Stenting, Coronary Interventions, Electrophysiology, Vascular Interventions, Vascular Surgery and Coronary Intensive Care (CCU).
  • 30-Day mortality and readmission rates for heart attack and failure
  • Patient recommendation ratings on the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) Survey 
  • Primary research about women’s healthcare preferences
San Antonio Regional Hospital is one of 441 award recipients representing the hospitals that have met the highest standards for heart care in the U.S. by the Women’s Choice Award.

“Women are intimately involved in medical treatment for their families and are on the front lines so to speak when interacting and seeking care from healthcare providers,” said  John Chapman, President & CEO of San Antonio Regional Hospital.  “To receive their endorsement and high satisfaction ratings, along with meeting the clinical excellence methodology of the Women’s Choice Awards, is exceptional.  We are proud to receive these awards again for 2025.”
