American Heart Association receives $6.8M for stroke care in Hawaii

 

This is the whole problem in stroke enumerated in one word; 'care'; NOT RECOVERY!

YOU have to get involved and change this failure mindset of 'care' to 100% RECOVERY! Survivors want RECOVERY, NOT 'CARE'!

I see nothing here that states going for 100% stroke recovery! Chance for full recovery is not enough. You need to create EXACT PROTOCOLS FOR THAT!

ASK SURVIVORS WHAT THEY WANT, THEY'LL NEVER RESPOND 'CARE'! This tyranny of low expectations has to be completely rooted out of any stroke conversation!

RECOVERY IS THE ONLY GOAL IN STROKE! GET THERE!

American Heart Association receives $6.8M for stroke care in Hawaii

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hawaii has received a major donation to expand and strengthen stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) in the islands.

The $6.8 million commitment from the Leona M. and Harry B. Hemsley Charitable Trust and the American Heart Association will go toward implementing the association’s “Misson: Lifeline Stroke” program in Hawaii.

The program connects all components of acute stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!), including hospitals, first responders, rehab facilities, and government into an integrated system to timely and effectively treat stroke patients.

“With the clock ticking, it’s essential that all parts of the health care system are linked together effectively for seamless care(NOT RECOVERY!),” said Dr. Debleena Dutt, American Heart Association Hawaii board member. “The mission lifeline model works across pre-hospital, rehabilitation and post-acute phases to ensure that all stroke patients receive the best possible chance at survival and full recovery.”(NOT GOOD ENOUGH!)

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Hawaii and the number one cause of disability.
