The Gold Seal of Approval is a symbol of quality that demonstrates West Hills Hospital’s commitment to providing safe and effective patient care.

West Hills Hospital’s Chest Pain Certification recognizes its compliance with consensus-based national standards, effective use of evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to manage and optimize chest pain care, and organized approach to chest pain performance measurement and improvement activities.
