Deans' stroke musings: Hutch Regional is given stroke-care designation

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Hutch Regional is given stroke-care designation - Hutchinson, KS

The KISS initiative is way too important to leave to medical professionals. Get involved and demand action. At least make it public.

Hutchinson Regional Medical Center has been classified an Emergent Stroke Ready hospital by the American Heart Association and the Kansas State Stroke Task Force, indicating the facility is able to adequately care for stroke patients.
The hospital, a member of the Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System, provided the necessary documentation to receive the designation as part of the Kansas Initiative for Stroke Survival (KISS).
KISS is led by a team of 50 medical professionals who make up the Kansas State Stroke Task Force, which was created in 2004 to study and address the issue of stroke care in Kansas and develop a comprehensive system of care.
