This is the whole problem in stroke enumerated in one word; 'care'; NOT RECOVERY!
Our non-existent stroke leadership should be demanding RECOVERY NOT 'CARE'!
My god, anyone in the business world would be fired immediately for managing or caring about something rather than delivering RESULTS. And this is why this is a complete fucking failure! This does nothing to guarantee recovery for survivors!
If your hospital is touting 'care' it means they are a failure because they are delivering 'care'; NOT RECOVERY! I would never go to a failed hospital! Anytime I see the word 'care' associated with a stroke hospital; I immediately think fucking failure!
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% recovery! 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! I wouldn't go there because of such incompetency as not having 100% recovery protocols!
RECOVERY IS THE ONLY GOAL IN STROKE!
GET THERE!
Baptist Health Corbin earns national stroke care recognition
Baptist Health Corbin has been honored with the 2025 Stroke Gold Plus and Rural Stroke Gold awards from the American Heart Association, recognizing its exceptional commitment to stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) excellence.
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States. A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted, either by a blocked blood vessel (ischemic stroke) or a ruptured blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). This interruption deprives brain cells of oxygen and nutrients, causing the cells to die and potentially leading to long-term permanent damage. Early stroke detection and treatment are key to improving survival, minimizing disability and accelerating recovery times.
Get With the Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care(NOT RECOVERY!) is aligned with the latest research and evidence-based guidelines.
Get With the Guidelines – Stroke is an in-hospital program for improving stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) by promoting consistent adherence to these guidelines, which can minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and even prevent death.
“By adhering to these evidence-based guidelines and utilizing our advanced tele-health system, we are ensuring that Kentucky’s rural citizens have access to the same high-quality-evidence based stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) that they would receive in larger urban areas. By helping eliminate these geographic disparities we can reduce the economic and health related impact from stroke,” said Kevin Swanner, APRN, Baptist Health Corbin.
Baptist Health’s Stroke program includes stroke activation, tele-stroke providers available 24/7, an on-site board certified advanced neurovascular practitioner and NIHSS certified providers and nurses.
“Baptist Health Corbin is committed to improving patient care(NOT RECOVERY!) by adhering to the latest stroke treatment guidelines. The American Heart Association’s Get With the Guidelines makes it easier for our team to apply evidence-based guidelines into practice which studies show can reduce patient disability and mortality,” said Joy Highfield, Stroke Coordinator, Baptist Health Corbin.
The hospital also received the American Heart Association’s Target: Type 2 Diabetes™ Honor Roll award. Target: Type 2 Diabetes aims to ensure patients with Type 2 diabetes, who might be at higher risk for complications, receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care(NOT RECOVERY!) when hospitalized due to stroke.
Baptist Health Corbin is a 273-bed, acute care facility providing a wide variety of healthcare services to residents of Whitley, Knox, Laurel, Bell, Clay, Harlan and McCreary counties in Kentucky and Campbell County in Tennessee.
