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.”
