I'm new to Philly and live very close to Abington Memorial Hospital. My elderly father is coming to live with me and he has a history of heart disease and heart attacks.

I wanted to make sure that Abington Memorial is a good hospital in case we need to bring him there. Can anyone share experiences or recommendations? If they aren't a good hospital, which is the best one close to them? There are so many hospitals in the area - I just don't know which to choose.

Not meaning to sound morbid, but your best action in the case of an MI (heart attack) is to call 911, give Dad a non-enteric coated aspirin, and be CPR certified. I am assuming that PA has EMT-II / Paramedics on the ambulances.
