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.

Hugh Chatham Health receives honor 'Best Hospitals for Stroke Care'

 So, you're acknowledging you are a COMPLETE FUCKING FAILUE by spouting 'care' rather than recovery!

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 stroke medical 'professional'/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!

Hugh Chatham Health receives honor 'Best Hospitals for Stroke Care'

Hugh Chatham Health has been recognized as one of America’s Best Hospitals for Stroke Care by the Women’s Choice Award, placing it among the top-performing hospitals nationwide. This designation signifies that Hugh Chatham Health ranks in the top 9% of over 4,600 U.S. hospitals offering stroke care services.

I'd fire everybody involved in this travesty of 'care' rather than recovery! BEST, my ass!

According to the American Stroke Association:

• 1 in 5 women will experience a stroke in her lifetime


• Women account for nearly 60% of stroke-related deaths

• Studies show women are more likely to be misdiagnosed for stroke—even when presenting with the same symptoms as men

“Timely diagnosis and effective care are critical to preventing disability and improving recovery outcomes,” said Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women’s Choice Award. “The time to identify your community’s leading hospital for stroke care is now — not in the middle of a medical emergency when every minute counts.”

Award Criteria

The Women’s Choice Award for Stroke Care is the only national designation that combines clinical excellence, patient satisfaction, and women’s healthcare preferences to identify top-performing hospitals.

To qualify, hospitals must:

• Hold a Stroke Center Certification from the Joint Commission (JC) and/or Det Norske Veritas (DNV) [points assigned for different levels of certification]

• Meet or exceed performance measures from CMS, including:

• Top 80% of hospitals for timely Head CT scan results (within 45 minutes)

• No rating of “Worse than the National Rate” for deaths from serious treatable complications

The methodology also includes:

• HCAHPS survey results (patients who “definitely recommend” the hospital)

“Receiving top care within the first three hours of a stroke is critical to preventing long-term disability,” added Passi. “Our award helps women—and their families—identify hospitals where they have the best chance of a full recovery.”

Hugh Chatham Health is one of 503 hospitals nationwide to earn this prestigious recognition for 2026.

Mary Blackburn, Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President at Hugh Chatham Health, said “At Hugh Chatham Health, we are deeply committed to providing every patient with the highest-quality, safest care possible. Receiving another Women’s Choice Award for Stroke Care is a meaningful affirmation of the expertise, teamwork, and dedication of our providers, clinical staff, and teammates. We are proud to be recognized for the important work we do each day to improve the lives of people in the Yadkin Valley who are affected by stroke, giving them the best possible chance for recovery and survival.”
