stroke care and signifies the services provided at the hospital include
the critical elements needed to achieve long-term success in improving

What was the screening process?
This designation comes after a comprehensive on-site review by The Joint Commission, the
nation’s predominant standards-setting and accrediting body in
healthcare.
In order to achieve this designation, Bon Secours organized teams of physicians, nurses and therapists to plan, implement, monitor and improve the care of patients who suffer from stroke. The teams also worked in collaboration with the medical centers’ emergency departments and the community to ensure the prompt identification of stroke symptoms and the timely implementation of standardized treatments with the goal of reducing the long-term impact of stroke.
