Two Harbin Clinic doctors have been recognized for the quality of care they provide patients with cardiovascular disease or who have had a stroke.

Amar Singh, M.D. and Poonam Singh, M.D., Internal Medicine physicians with Harbin Clinic, have received Recognition from the Heart/Stroke Recognition Program.

The Heart/Stroke Recognition Program was designed to improve the quality of care patients with cardiovascular disease or who have had a stroke receive by recognizing physicians who deliver quality cardiovascular and stroke care, and by motivating other physicians to document and improve their delivery of cardiovascular and stroke care.

To receive recognition, which is valid for three years, Drs. Amar and Poonam Singh submitted data that demonstrates performance that meets the Program’s key cardiovascular and stroke care measures.

These measures include blood pressure and cholesterol control, among others. When people with cardiovascular disease or who have had a stroke receive quality care as outlined by these measures, they are less likely to suffer additional complications, such as a second heart attack or stroke. “Quality patient care translates into lives saved,” said Sidney Smith, Professor of Medicine, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Past President and Past Chief Science Officer of the American Heart Association.

Drs. Amar and Poonam Singh joined Harbin Clinic in 2005. They began their practice in Rome in 2002.
