Deans' stroke musings: NHRMC receives comprehensive stroke center certification

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.

NHRMC receives comprehensive stroke center certification - WILMINGTON, N.C

So fucking what? 'Care' and treatment, NOT RESULTS.

NHRMC receives comprehensive stroke center certification - WILMINGTON, N.C

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - New Hanover Regional Medical Center's Stroke Center has received special certification that sets it apart from every other hospital in the state.

NHRMC is now a comprehensive stroke center after receiving the DNV GL Healthcare certification, which reflects the highest level of competence for treatment of serious stroke events. New Hanover is the only DNV-certified comprehensive stroke center in North Carolina, according to a news release.

“Comprehensive stroke center designation represents a milestone in NHRMC’s commitment to providing the best care for our community,” said James S. McKinney, MD, medical director of the NHRMC Stroke Center. “The NHRMC Stroke Center has become a referral destination for patients across southeastern North Carolina needing the most advanced care for strokes and aneurysms.”

NHRMC is the only hospital in southeastern North Carolina to offer 24/7 neuro-interventional coverage to treat patients suffering cerebrovascular emergencies, including stroke and aneurysms.

The DNV GL Healthcare certification is based on standards set by the Brain Attack Coalition and the American Stroke Association. It affirms the medical center addressed the full spectrum of stroke care — diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and education — and establishes clear metrics to evaluate outcomes.

“There was a time when stroke patients in the southeastern region of North Carolina had to seek care elsewhere," said Jeffrey Beecher, DO, director of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery. "That time has come and gone.”
