Sacred Heart Stroke Center Recognizes for Program to Improve Outcomes
Sacred Heart Hospital’s Regional Stroke Center was recently recertified as a Joint Commission Primary Stroke Center. The Joint Commission's Certificate of Distinction for Primary Stroke Centers recognizes centers that make exceptional efforts to foster better outcomes for stroke care.
This certification means that Sacred Heart provides the critical elements needed to achieve long-term success in improving outcomes for stroke patients based on their unique and specialized needs. Sacred Heart also complies with the national standards and performance measurement expectations that can help employers with controlling costs and improving productivity.
Sacred Heart’s Regional Stroke Center is Northwest Florida’s top-rated stroke program that features a diagnostic and treatment team dedicated to saving lives and minimizing damage caused by stroke. Led by a specially trained critical care neurologist, our team of radiologists, neurologists, interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons works together to rapidly diagnose and administer life-saving treatment.
