Erie, Pa. (April 29, 2025) — LECOM Health announces LECOM Medical Center’s Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) program has been granted accreditation by Corazon, a national leader in services for the cardiovascular specialty based in Pittsburgh, Pa. Through a rigorous process, the accreditation proves that the program at LECOM Medical Center has once again met or exceeded Corazon’s Accreditation Standards, national societal guidelines, and the requirements established by the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
