MULLICA HILL, NJ (August 6, 2026)– Inspira Health is proud to announce that its medical centers in Vineland, Mullica Hill and Elmer have earned a total of eight national awards from the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA), underscoring the health system’s commitment to providing timely, evidence-based cardiovascular care throughout South Jersey.

The honors reflect Inspira’s adherence to rigorous clinical standards, evidence-based treatment protocols, and continuous quality improvement in the care of patients with chest pain, heart attacks, and heart failure. Ultimately, these accolades highlight the clinical teams' dedication to improving patient outcomes and expanding access to advanced cardiac care close to home.

“Access to high-quality, reliable cardiac care remains a significant challenge for people in rural areas, including South Jersey,” said Lydia Stockman, Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer at Inspira Health. “I am proud of our teams for expanding local access to advanced care and for strengthening our ability to serve every patient when and where they need us most.”

Across the health system, Inspira’s medical centers received the following recognitions:

• Inspira Medical Center Vineland 
  • ACC Chest Pain Center with Primary PCI Re-Accreditation
  • ACC NCDR Chest Pain – MI Registry Silver Performance Achievement Award for 2026,

Hospitals earning the ACC Chest Pain Center Accreditation are recognized for their ability to evaluate, diagnose, and treat heart attack symptoms through a rigorous review of their clinical processes and patient care. The ACC NCDR Chest Pain – MI Registry Performance Achievement Awards honors hospitals nationwide for delivering guideline-based care for heart attack patients and using registry data to improve quality and outcomes, with the Platinum Achievement awarded to only 350 hospitals. The AHA Get With The Guidelines® awards recognize hospitals committed to following current clinical guidelines for cardiovascular care.

Together, these recognitions reinforce Inspira’s ongoing commitment to advancing cardiovascular care throughout South Jersey by adhering to nationally recognized standards, improving patient outcomes, and ensuring patients receive expert heart care when and where they need it most. 

This momentum will be further supported by the Inspira Medical Center Mullica Hill tower expansion, opening in early 2027, which includes the expansion of interventional radiology services that will enhance and strengthen the cardiac services available to our community.
