Heart disease and stroke are the NUMBER ONE and NUMBER FIVE cause of death in the U.S., but every day, hospitals across the DMV are working to change that. We're thrilled to share that 25 hospitals in the Greater Washington Region have been recognized for their efforts to improve outcomes for these critical health conditions.
