CMMC’s Chest Pain Center is the first and only accredited heart attack center in Maine, according to Susan Horton, executive director of the Central Maine Heart and Vascular Institute.
The Society of Chest Pain Centers accreditation process reviews the total cardiac care capabilities of the hospitals it evaluates.
