Why choose UF Health St. Johns Flagler Hospital for stroke care?
UF Health St. Johns Hospital is recognized by The Joint Commission and the American Stroke Association/American Heart Association as a Certified Primary Stroke Care Facility. We participate in the Get With The Guidelines (GWTG) – Stroke registry. According to the American Heart Association, since the start of the GWTG program in 2003, more than 2,000 hospitals have entered more than 5 million patient records into the registry database. Studies based on this data have helped to create treatment guidelines and shown the positive impact the program has had on patient outcomes.
As a recipient of the Stroke Gold Plus award, we demonstrate dedication to patient care by achieving and maintaining the highest level of stroke care in seven nationally accepted core measures for 24 consecutive months.
Stroke care at UF Health St. Johns begins in the community and continues through hospitalization to discharge back to the community. All departments are involved in helping to achieve this award: radiology, lab, cardiopulmonary, physicians, and nurses. Our overall goal is to provide quality care that is comprehensive, timely, and ensures the best outcome for each patient.
