IRWIN, Pennsylvania (January 28th, 2025) - Transitions Healthcare North Huntingdon is proud to announce its commitment to enhancing cardiac care by beginning the process to achieve certification as a Certified Heart Failure Skilled Nursing Facility through the American Heart Association (AHA). This initiative reflects the facility's dedication to improving the quality of life for residents living with heart failure through specialized, evidence-based care.
