More than a thousand community members hit the
ground running in Methodist Mansfield's first Run with
Heart event, a Heart of the Community initiative.
Methodist Mansfield Medical Center is finding ways to help local hearts fromboth
inside and outside the hospital walls.
Award-winning heart care
The Joint Commission recognized Methodist Mansfield as a 2013
Top Performer on
Key Quality Measures
®
in heart attack, heart failure, and stroke outcomes, based on
achievements in 2012.
In addition, the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care recognized Methodist
Mansfield with Cycle IV Chest Pain accreditation for achieving a higher level of
expertise in diagnosing and rapidly treating patients with chest pain and other
heart attack symptoms. In 2013, the hospital achieved a record-low door-to-
balloon heart attack treatment time: only 22 minutes, well below the national
standard of 90 minutes.

100 community events in southeastern Tarrant County.
Where
hearts march
to a stronger beat
Methodist Health System Foundation
presented its 2013 Robert S. Folsom
