Four Memorial Health hospitals have earned recertification from the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation — recognizing high-quality cardiac and pulmonary rehab programs with strong patient outcomes.

Decatur Memorial Hospital, Lincoln Memorial Hospital, Springfield Memorial Hospital, and Taylorville Memorial Hospital all received the designation in 2025. A fifth hospital in the system, Jacksonville Memorial Hospital, will be eligible for recertification later this summer.

Cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs help patients recover and return to daily life following heart attacks, illnesses, or other serious health conditions. Memorial Health says the programs play a key role in improving quality of life and helping prevent future complications.

The hospitals offer both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services. To earn recertification, programs must reapply every three years and submit detailed data on patient outcomes, staff competencies, and overall program quality.

Memorial Health leaders say the recognition reflects the dedication of their care teams and the positive results patients continue to see across the system.
