Temecula Valley Hospital Receives the 2024 Women’s Choice Award® as one of America’s Best Hospitals for Heart Care
Temecula Valley Hospital (TVH) has been named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Heart Care by the Women’s Choice Award®, America’s trusted referral source for the best in healthcare. The award signifies that Temecula Valley Hospital is in the top 10% of 4,728 U.S. hospitals offering heart care services.
According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the No. 1 killer of American women, causing one in three 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.”
