Cardiac Services Every year, Thomson Reuters, a leading health care industry review organization, examines the performance of nearly 1,000 U.S. hospitals by analyzing their outcomes for congestive heart failure, heart attacks, coronary bypass surgery, angioplasties and other coronary interventions. For four consecutive years, Thomson Reuters has named Regional Hospital of Scranton a Top 100 hospital in the nation for heart care. No other hospital in our region has earned such a distinction, and only a select few in the U.S. have accomplished such a feat. Being a Thomson Reuters 100 Top Hospitals winner means that our patients are less likely to have complications and are more likely to receive life-saving care with advanced technology. Chest Pain Center Designation as an Accredited Chest Pain Center by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care means the hospital’s cardiac care team has successfully completed a rigorous process to ensure life-saving care when every minute counts. Taking the steps necessary to achieve this prestigious accreditation is part of our commitment to making a difference in the lives of our families, friends and neighbors. Cancer Treatment Regional Hospital of Scranton’s Cancer Center is accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. The Cancer Center is part of an extensive national database that assists in identifying and treating various types of cancer. With decades of clinical experience, Regional is accredited to participate in clinical trials, and partner physicians at Northeast Radiation Oncology Center are accredited by the National Cancer Institute. Robotics This program gives our surgeons the technology to provide patients more options and achieve better outcomes, while providing an alternative to both traditional open surgery and conventional laparoscopy. In robotic surgery, the surgeon's hands are at the controls of a high-tech robotic platform that enables them to perform even the most complex and delicate procedures through very small incisions.
