These are NOT result awards so they don't tell you anything about how good the program is. Call that hospital president and demand to know what the RESULTS are; 30 day deaths, 100% recovery.
There is absolutely nothing in here that tells me that the RESULTS are better in this hospital than other hospitals. I don't give a crap about how well you do processes.
Big f*cking whoopee.
Guidelines here: You can see how this is nothing to be impressed about. This is all indirect action, not results.

The University of Virginia Health System's stroke program now has one of
the highest distinctions from the American Heart Association.
UVA
received both the 2015 Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold-Plus
Achievement Award and made the Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite.
Neurologists
are working on a number of treatment options including what is called
clot-retrieval. This approach will streamline UVA stroke guidelines
going forward.
