We like being first – and we always put you first. You may not know it, but Beacon is first in the region when it comes to heart, vascular and stroke care. Regionally, we perform the most heart procedures annually, had the first structural heart program to repair issues with the heart itself, and established the first and only thrombectomy-capable stroke center -- available to perform the time-critical endovascular thrombectomy. Why do we do all of this? For you and your heart. Learn more at beacon.health/heart

Dignity Health North State Hospitals, including Mercy Medical Center Mt. Shasta, St. Elizabeth Community Hospital and Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospitals, serve as Primary Stroke Centers. Mercy Medical Center Redding holds the distinction as an Advanced Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Center, accredited by The Joint Commission. It stands as the sole thrombectomy-capable medical facility north of Sacramento in California. Primary stroke centers are equipped with specialized teams of healthcare professionals who are trained to recognize and respond to stroke emergencies promptly. This rapid response is critical because every minute counts in the treatment of stroke, where timely intervention can minimize brain damage and improve outcomes. Let's strive to carry the momentum of National Stroke Awareness Month forward, not just in May, but year-round. By quickly recognizing the signs and promoting healthy lifestyles, we can make a lasting impact in preventing and treating strokes and ensure a future where strokes are not just survivable, but preventable.

🌍 Revolutionizing Stroke Care: A Global Call to Action Exciting news! Collaborating with Philips, WSO has launched an acute stroke care policy brief. This document highlights key opportunities for countries to save lives, enhance well-being, and drive significant economic benefits while advancing progress on SDG 3.4. Access to acute stroke care, including mechanical thrombectomy, can markedly improve patient outcomes, increase independence, and reduce national health and social care expenditures. Unfortunately, access to timely treatment remains limited, and significant disparities in stroke care persist across the world. Let's unite to change this narrative and revolutionize stroke care for millions worldwide. The time for action is now!

The impact of ventilation on cardiac arrest outcomes is not well understood. While most consider the BVM important for oxygenation and ventilation, its effect on blood flow across the lung may play a more significant role. We have invited the authors of a recent paper in Resuscitation to present their findings this week on the Florida EMS webinar Join Tanner Smida and I this Friday to learn more.

🫀 Celebrating Cardiac Rehabilitation Week! 🏥 This week, we recognize the crucial role of cardiac rehabilitation in promoting heart health and recovery. It’s a time to highlight the impact of structured exercise, education, and support in improving cardiovascular outcomes. American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) Cardiac rehabilitation is not just for those who have experienced heart issues; it’s a proactive approach to maintaining heart health. By emphasizing lifestyle changes, exercise, and education, it empowers individuals to lead heart-healthy lives. Let’s spread awareness about the importance of cardiac rehabilitation, encouraging everyone to prioritize heart health. Whether you are on a recovery journey or simply aiming for a stronger heart, this week serves as a reminder that a healthy heart is a gift worth nurturing. #cardiacrehabweek #hearthealthmatters❤️ #cardiachealthawareness #heartrecovery #exerciseyourheart #yourheartbeatsstrong #heartrehab #knowmore

🚑 Critical Insights for EMS Providers: Join the Conversation on Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest! We know the importance of improving outcomes for patients experiencing cardiac arrest, but one factor that deserves more attention is how tidal volumes delivered by EMS impact patient outcomes—particularly in relation to Return of Spontaneous Circulation (ROSC).

Today, we are calling for a revolution in stroke care. In collaboration with Philips, WSO has launched an acute stroke care policy brief that identifies key opportunities to reduce the global burden of stroke, transform the lives of millions, and accelerate progress on SDG3.4. Without focused action on stroke, governments cannot deliver on their global healthcare commitments. Access to quality acute care, including mechanical thrombectomy, can transform outcomes for patients, increase functional and economic independence and contribute to reduced national health and social care spending. Time for A Revolution in Stroke Care identifies key opportunities and actions for policy makers that, suppported by stroke focused investments, can improve access to quality acute stroke care - in particular mechanical thrombectomy.
