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.

SIH Hospitals Earn National Stroke Care Award

 

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'! This is for you to solve: WSO! In my opinion, this is declaring failure a success; '1984' was not to be followed as a way to run a hospital!

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!

SIH Hospitals Earn National Stroke Care Award

SIH Herrin Hospital and SIH Memorial Hospital of Carbondale recognized for fast, evidence-based stroke treatment.

Published on Mar. 11, 2026

SIH Herrin Hospital and SIH Memorial Hospital of Carbondale have been awarded the Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke Gold Plus with Target: Stroke Honor Roll by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. This recognition reflects the hospitals' commitment to providing high-quality, time-sensitive stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) that can reduce death and disability.

Why it matters

Stroke is a leading cause of death and long-term disability in the U.S. Prompt, evidence-based treatment is critical for improving patient outcomes. This award highlights SIH's dedication to coordinating emergency response and delivering rapid, safe stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!).

The details

To qualify for the award, the SIH hospitals had to meet strict standards for shortening the time between a patient's arrival and the start of life-saving treatment, such as clot-busting medication. This recognition reflects the hospitals' ability to quickly mobilize emergency physicians, nurses, imaging teams, and neuroscience specialists to provide coordinated, high-quality stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!).

  • The award was announced on March 11, 2026.

What they’re saying

“Rapid treatment truly changes what recovery looks like for stroke patients. This recognition reflects how consistently our teams follow national guidelines and, just as importantly, how well they work together to deliver time-sensitive treatment that can help patients regain speech, movement and independence.”

— Andrea Loggini, MD, neurointensivist and neuroscience inpatient medical director at SIH (webqradio.com)

“For stroke care, every minute matters. From the moment a patient arrives in the Emergency Department, there is a coordinated response involving emergency physicians, nurses, imaging teams and the neuroscience team. That shared focus allows us to move quickly, reduce delays and give patients the best possible chance for recovery.”

— Andrea Loggini, MD, neurointensivist and neuroscience inpatient medical director at SIH (webqradio.com)

“This recognition is a direct reflection of teamwork. Not just in the Emergency Department, but starting with emergency medical services (EMS) in the field. Early identification, rapid communication and seamless handoff between EMS and our ED teams set everything in motion. Stroke care succeeds when every link in the chain works together with urgency and precision.”

— Jonatan Hornik, MD, neurointensivist at SIH (webqradio.com)

“When EMS, emergency clinicians, radiology and neuroscience teams are aligned, we can move efficiently while maintaining high standards of care. That collective effort is what allows patients to receive timely treatment and what ultimately drives better outcomes.”

— Jonatan Hornik, MD, neurointensivist at SIH (webqradio.com)

“We are incredibly pleased to recognize SIH Herrin Hospital and SIH Memorial Hospital of Carbondale for their commitment to caring for patients with stroke. Participation in Get With The Guidelines is associated with improved patient outcomes, fewer readmissions and lower mortality rates — a win for health care systems, families and communities.”

— Steven Messe, MD, volunteer chair of the American Heart Association Stroke System of Care Advisory Group (webqradio.com)
