SilverStone Health recognized for gold standard evidence-based Palliative/Hospice care

American Heart Association certification recognizes SilverStone Health accomplishment in quality care

DALLAS, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SilverStone Health has earned Palliative/Hospice Heart Failure certification from the American Heart Association®, the world's leading nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health for all. The certification provides an evidence-based framework for evaluating palliative and hospice care agencies against the American Heart Association's rigorous science-based standards for heart failure patients.

"This certification helps assure patients and families can have confidence that their end-of-life heart failure care is coordinated and follows the latest evidence-based guidelines," said Rabia Malik, M.D., American Heart Association volunteer expert and associate medical director at Anthem. "We're pleased to have SilverStone Health join the national network of American Heart Association Palliative/Hospice Heart Failure certified agencies."

SilverStone Health serves over 2,000 patients annually across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and surrounding areas. Specializing in post-hospital and complex medical care, we support patients and families managing advanced diseases and terminal illnesses. With a physician-led approach and a team of experienced clinicians, we deliver care in a variety of settings, including homes, rehabilitation centers, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and memory care environments. Our comprehensive, fully integrated care model ensures patients receive personalized and uninterrupted support tailored to their evolving medical needs.

"SilverStone Health is proud to be the first Palliative and Hospice organization in Texas to receive this certification from the American Heart Association," said Steve Arze, MD, Chief Medical Officer. "The tools and resources provided by the American Heart Association help us provide education and opportunities for our agencies to work toward quality efforts for our patients with heart failure. This accomplishment reflects our commitment to provide quality care."

"Dr. Arze is a true pioneer in palliative care," said SilverStone Health CEO Alfonso Montiel. "Achieving this certification from the American Heart Association has been a long-held aspiration of his, and it aligns perfectly with the addition of our first full-time, board-certified palliative care medical director—the fifth physician on our outstanding team. Through his visionary leadership, Dr. Arze continues to redefine what's possible in palliative care."

The certification signifies confidence that an agency's heart failure program uses a standardized method of delivering services based on current standards aligned with the American Heart Association science, an agency adheres to evidence-based requirements to improve care and quality of life for heart failure patients, and the agency is recognized by the American Heart Association, based on professional evaluation criteria designed by heart failure and home care experts.
