Sparks earns stroke care award
The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association honored Sparks Regional Medical Center with the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. Sparks has been a part of the program for more than 10 years.
The hospital earned the award by meeting achievement measures for the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients for a designated period. These measures include evaluation of the proper use of medications and other stroke treatments.
Sparks also received the association's Target: Stroke Honor Roll. To qualify, hospitals must meet measures developed to reduce the time between the patient's arrival at the hospital and treatment with the clot-buster tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA.
Sparks Health System includes Sparks Regional Medical Center, Sparks Medical Center -- Van Buren, Sparks Clinic, Sparks PremierCare and the fully hospital-integrated Marvin Altman Fitness Center.
