Covenant Cardiology Earns PCI Re-Accreditation

The Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) program at Covenant HealthCare has once again earned accreditation by Corazon, a national leader in services for the cardiovascular specialty based in Pittsburgh. PCI is a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked coronary (heart) arteries.

Congratulations to the Covenant Cardiology team, which has demonstrated its commitment to providing the highest level of extraordinary care to patients throughout the rigorous accreditation process.

“Our dedicated team of doctors, nurses, technicians, and support staff at Covenant continually strive to provide high quality, compassionate care in our cardiac catheterization labs,” said Dr. Manoj Sharma, Medical Director of Cardiovascular Services. “I’m proud of this team that works diligently to keep our labs equipped with state-of-the-art technology while maintaining high-quality PCI care metrics at both state and national levels.”

To earn PCI accreditation, Covenant needed to meet or exceed requirements established by the Michigan Department of Community Health (MI DCH), in accordance with Certificate of Need Review Standards for Cardiac Catheterization Services. Requirements include but are not limited to providing 24-hour coverage for PCI emergencies and undergoing detailed quarterly quality reviews to ensure outcomes and practices meet or exceed national standards.
