The Medical Center Obtains Recertification as a Primary Stroke Center from The Joint Commission

Bowling Green, KY – A Testament to Dedication and Excellence in Stroke Care

In a continuous demonstration of dedication to excellent healthcare services, The Medical Center at Bowling Green has triumphantly claimed The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® and the American Stroke Association’s Heart-Check mark for Primary Stroke Center Certification. Remarkably, this marks the 15th year the center has maintained this status of distinction.

Rigorous Review and Evaluation

Undertaking a strenuous process of onsite review, The Medical Center persistently showed its commitment to aligning with The Joint Commission’s standards, which are meticulously curated with inputs from health care experts, providers, patients, and measurement experts. Within this evaluation, the institution was assessed on various standards such as program management, clinical care delivery and facilitation, and support for self-management.

A thorough overview of onsite activities and several interviews were conducted by The Joint Commission reviewers, adding layers to the stringent review process.

Serving Communities with High-Quality Stroke Care

Speaking about the impressive achievement, Leslie Rossetter, Director of Medical Services at The Medical Center, elucidated the center’s profound dedication to stroke care. Highlighting the fact that the establishment’s focus extends from simply treating strokes to preventing them through community education and accessible care, Leslie emphasized the center’s unwavering commitment over the last 15 years to its community via its impressive stroke program.

Reaffirming the center’s success, the Executive Vice President of Accreditation and Certification Operations and Chief Nursing Officer, The Joint Commission, Ken Grubbs, commended The Medical Center’s allegiance to patient safety, quality of care, and continuous improvement. The certification process has been used adeptly by the center to drive compassionate, safer, and more superior care for served individuals by reducing variation in clinical procedures and bolstering their clinical program.

Recognition of Commitment to Care

Encouragingly, Nancy Brown, the Chief Executive Officer of the American Stroke Association, congratulated The Medical Center on their spectacular feat. She expressed that the certification paints a clear picture of the center’s commitment towards rendering the highest quality of care for stroke patients and underlined the life-changing impact the center’s efforts have had on numerous individuals and families.

In conclusion, the reaffirmation achieves much more than a mere extension of certification – it underscores The Medical Center’s irrefutable commitment to delivering top-notch stroke care for patients and is set to propel the establishment to accomplish greater feats in the years to come.
