Every second counts when you are having a stroke, and our stroke care teams work tirelessly to ensure our patients receive the best possible care in a timely manner. Recently, the AHA awarded Springfield Memorial Hospital with the Gold Plus, Honor Roll Elite and Stroke Advanced Therapy Awards while Decatur Memorial Hospital was again recognized with the Gold Plus with Honor Roll Get With The Guidelines - Stroke quality achievement awards. These awards recognize hospitals that ensure stroke patients get high-quality, research-based treatment that aligns with AHA guidelines. To qualify for this recognition, hospitals must meet specific criteria that reduce the time between an eligible patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with “clot-busting” thrombolytic therapy. We are proud of our colleagues who work together to help provide the best possible outcomes for our patients who are experiencing strokes. #strokecare #GetWiththeGuidelines #teamwork
