COLUMBUS, Miss. – Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle was recently designated an Aetna Institute of Quality Cardiac Care Facility for comprehensive heart and vascular treatment.
This designation recognizes hospitals and facilities in Aetna’s network that offer specialized clinical services for certain health conditions and consistently deliver evidence-based, safe care.
