Abrazo West honored for stroke care

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
brazo West Campus has received the American Heart Association’s Silver Plus Get with the Guidelines-Stroke quality achievement award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines. Stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the United States. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel carrying oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, so brain cells die. 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 nation-
wide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest research- and evidence-based guidelines. Get with the Guidelines-Stroke is an in-hospital program for improving stroke care by promoting consistent adherence to these guidelines, which can minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and even prevent death. “Abrazo West Campus is committed to improving patient care by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” said Hans Driessnack, hospital chief executive officer. “Get with the Guidelines makes it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis, which studies show can help patients recover better. The end goal is to ensure more people in Phoenix can experience longer, healthier lives.” Each year, program participants qualify for the award by demonstrating how their organization has committed

to providing quality care for stroke patients. In addition to following treatment guidelines, Get with the Guidelines participants also educate patients to help them manage their health and recovery at home. “We are incredibly pleased to recognize Abrazo West Campus for its commitment to caring for patients with stroke,” said Dr. Steven Messe, chair of the Stroke System of Care Advisory Group. “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.” In addition, Abrazo West Campus received the American Heart Association’s Target: Stroke Elite Honor Roll award by meeting specific criteria that reduce the time between an eligible patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment to remove the clot causing the

stroke. Abrazo West Campus 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 when hospitalized due to stroke. The campus also hosts a monthly stroke support group. The West Valley Survivors of Stroke group meets from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. the second Thursday of each month in the hospital’s second-floor conference room. Stroke support group meetings through the remainder of 2022 will be Aug. 11, Sept. 8, Oct. 13, Nov. 10 and Dec. 8. To register or check on schedule updates, visit abrazohealth.com/events.
