January 15, 2021 — (January 15, 2021) Zephyrhills, FL – AdventHealth Zephyrhills was named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Heart Care by the Women’s Choice Award^®, America’s trusted referral source for the best in healthcare. This award signifies that AdventHealth Zephyrhills is in the top one percent of 4,542 U.S. hospitals offering heart care services.

“This is the fifth year in a row AdventHealth Zephyrhills has been named One of America’s Best Hospitals for Heart Care,” said Deborah Moore RN, MSN, RCIS, Director of Cardiovascular Services at AdventHealth Dade City and AdventHealth Zephyrhills . “Consistently earning this distinction year after year demonstrates the commitment of our staff and cardiologists to provide life-saving heart care to our community.”
