USA Today reports that the Nix Health Care System is rated the #1 hospital in Bexar County for providing heart patients with the standards of care recommended by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO). Providing comprehensive health care excellence to South Texas patients since 1930, the Nix has long been a leader whose medical and surgical staff continue to earn professional distinction.

The Nix Ranks as the #1 Hospital for Heart Care in Bexar County due to:

• Excellent teamwork and communication between physicians and employees.
• Offering the only comprehensive cardiovascular program downtown to include: CT heart scans, cardiac catheterizations, cardiovascular surgery and a full range of diagnostic tests that are performed under one roof at the Nix Medical Center.
• Serving as one of the nation’s top providers in CT heart scans for preventive care and diagnostics.
• Leadership in cutting edge technology – in December 2006, an additional state-of-the-art, enhanced cardiovascular lab will be capable of viewing extremely detailed images of cardiovascular anatomy and blood vessels, enabling maximum treatment benefits and minimal side effects.

TRUST IT TO THE NIX.
