Summer is quickly fading, but the enthusiasm for quality at North Fulton Regional Hospital is anything but!  The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association are recognizing North Fulton Regional Hospital for its performance in treating cardiac and stroke patients using the association’s Get With The GuidelinesSM program. North Fulton Regional Hospital joins 518 other hospitals being featured in an advertisement in the July 21st “America’s Best Hospitals” issue of US News & World Report.

North Fulton Regional Hospital is one of only two hospitals in the state of Georgia and one of only 29 in the country to have reached award status in all three of the programs the American Heart Association supports. In addition to the recent Bronze award for Stroke, the hospital has also achieved the Silver award for both Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Failure.

Who says bigger is better? This is certainly not the case in the Women’s Center at North Fulton Regional Hospital. With consistent 5-Star patient satisfaction ratings since the start of 2008, this department has shown that personalized care is alive and well.

“On a scale of 1-5, I would score my experience at NFRH to be a 10,” says one patient. “Thank you so much to all the caring nurses in the Women’s Center! It was the best hospital stay I have ever had…thank you, thank you!” says another. These comments and countless others just like them provide motivation to the staff in the Women’s Center to continue doing what they do best: care.

A 5-Star rating is the highest rating that can be given to any Tenet hospital in regard to patient satisfaction.

North Fulton Regional Hospital has become the first institution in north metro Atlanta to offer custom-fit total knee replacement.

Using advanced 3-T MRI imaging and computerized 3-D imaging, orthopedic surgeons can more precisely match the size and placement of the implant to the patient’s unique and normal (non-arthritic) knee anatomy. The goal of the new custom-fit approach is to enable surgeons to preserve more of the patient’s own bone and ligaments, allowing for better implant fit and alignment.

Rehabilitation is often a patient’s “next step” following an injury or surgical procedure. Intended to move patients back to their every day routines as quickly as possible, rehabilitation is often met with great praise and thanks from the patient and their physician. One service that is both highly specialized and highly regarded is hand therapy.

Hand therapy is useful for many conditions, including arthritis, Lupus, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, neural compressions and more.

North Fulton Regional Hospital and Harry's Farmers Market have combined efforts to offer the monthly Whole Body, Whole Health Seminar Series.  With topics ranging from Weight Management to Diabetes to Baby Safety to Stress...there is truly something for everyone.

Each event is completely free of charge and features refreshments and plenty of helpful information for you, your family and friends.
