Doylestown Hospital
According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Doylestown Hospital was found to have the highest 30-day survival rate after admission for heart attack in the state and tied for fourth-highest in the nation. In September 2011, Doylestown became the first hospital in Bucks County to use advanced freezing technology to treat patients with irregular heartbeats. Its interventional cardiologists perform about 2,000 catheterizations and 700 PCI or stent/angioplasty procedures each year. The hospital doubled the size of its cancer institute in 2011, and in the same building, patients have access to a new radiation oncology center, operated by the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
