The Medical Center at Bowling Green Stands Out in Stroke Care

In Bowling Green, A Hospital is Making Strides in Stroke Care

There’s some good news out of Bowling Green, Kentucky. The Medical Center at Bowling Green has been recognized for its fantastic work in stroke care. According to an announcement by Med Center Health, this hospital has received a gold star – actually, it’s the Get With The Guidelines®– Stroke GoldPlus quality achievement award.

The American Heart Association gives out this award to hospitals that roll out treatment which sticks to nationally recognized, research-tested guidelines. What this means is that these treatment methods have been proven to save more lives and lessen disability post-stroke.

“I am thrilled about the consistent efforts at Med Center Health that ensure top-notch stroke care across the region,” said Leslie Rossetter, a bigwig in charge of medical services at Bowling Green’s Medical Center. Rossetter added, “This award is a shout-out to the care that the entire team at
Med Center Health provides. It takes a whole crew of dedicated healthcare professionals to bag this kind of award. This recognition serves to underline the commitment we have at Med Center Health to provide quality, evidence-backed care for stroke patients in our local communities.”

Stroke: A Leading Cause of Death and Disability

Med Center Health shared a sobering fact: stroke is the number five reason for deaths and a top cause of disability in the U.S. Healthcare experts tell us that the key to better survival rates and less disability is catching the stroke early and starting treatment fast. This approach enhances recovery times, too.

Here’s what’s impressive about the Get With The Guidelines program: it brings the expertise of the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association to hospitals all over the country, ensuring that patient care aligns with the latest research findings and best practice guidelines.”

Every year, hospitals part of this program strive for this award by demonstrating their commitment towards high-quality care for stroke patients. They don’t stop with this, though. These program participants also help patients understand how to look after their health and manage recovery at home.

This recognition doesn’t just validate the work they’re doing; it underscores their commitment to providing quality, evidence-based care for stroke patients within their community.

Yet, as much as we celebrate these achievements, we are reminded that stroke continues to be a significant concern in the United States. Preventing stroke, improving early detection, and ensuring access to top-notch stroke care for all Americans remains a pressing priority.
