MISSION VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Providence Mission Hospital has received the Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Gold Plus award from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association recognizing the hospital’s commitment to providing life-saving, high-quality care to its stroke patients.
“This award marks our continued commitment to provide nationally recognized evidence-based stroke care for the south Orange County community,” said Seth Teigen, chief executive of Providence Mission Hospital. “We salute all of our caregivers and physicians who provide advanced and exceptional care so that patients can return to their families and live a healthy, vibrant life.”
The award carries two distinctions. First, the Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus with Advanced Therapy recognition signifies Providence Mission Hospital’s ability to reduce the time between a patient’s arrival at the hospital and the treatment to remove a clot that can cause a stroke.
Second, the Target: Type 2 Diabetes honors Providence Mission Hospital’s commitment that patients with type 2 diabetes, a population with a higher risk for complications, receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care.
Providence Mission Hospital’s Stroke Center physicians work around the clock to intercept, diagnose and treat strokes before they progress. It is the only hospital in south Orange County to provide advanced neurologic care for strokes.
The Get With The Guidelines - Stroke Gold Plus award joins the list of designations Providence Mission Hospital has received.
