🫀 Seven awards. One standard: the best possible care, right here at home.

Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital has been recognized with seven American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines® awards, including the Commitment to Quality Award, an honor reserved for hospitals performing at the Silver level or higher across at least three clinical programs.

Only 17 hospitals in Texas earned it and we are also the only one in Deep East Texas who received the award.

🥇 Rural Heart Failure — Gold
🥈 Stroke — Silver Plus
🥈 Rural Stroke — Silver
🥈 Rural Coronary Artery Disease (STEMI) — Silver
🥉 Rural Coronary Artery Disease (NSTE-ACS) — Bronze
🥉 Rural Coronary Artery Disease (STEMI) — Bronze

🏆 Commitment to Quality Award
Heart attacks and strokes don’t wait. Every one of these awards represents something measurable: how fast we treat, how closely we follow the latest evidence, how well we prepare patients to recover once they get home. Earning them as a rural hospital means our neighbors don’t have to drive hours to get nationally recognized cardiac and stroke care.

To every nurse, physician, EMT, tech, and team member behind these results: thank you. This is your award.

We are grateful for the swift, decisive actions of the Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office deputies highlighted in this report.

Their quick response and decision to transport an 18-month-old child directly to Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital allowed emergency care to begin without delay. Our Emergency Department team was prepared to receive the child and continue lifesaving care before transfer to Texas Children’s Hospital.

We commend the deputies for their professionalism and commitment to protecting our community. This is an outstanding example of teamwork across public safety and healthcare.
