Mercy Medical Center of Sioux City has been honored by the American Heart Association for their cardiac care efforts.

Audio PlayerOC………not required guidelines. :23
Mercy Cardiologist Dr. Jerome Pierson says the awards are thanks to the work of each person who interacts with the heart patients who are brought to the hospital:
Audio PlayerOC…that we have here. ;26
The goal is to speed recovery and reduce re-admissions for patients and reduce system barriers to prompt treatment for heart attacks and heart failure.
