Marymount Hospital is one of only a few select hospitals in the nation to be designated by the Joint Commission as a Primary Stroke Center. Obtaining this certification signifies that our stroke program meets strict criteria required by the Joint Commission and the hospital has undergone a comprehensive on-site evaluation. 

 

This recognition also demonstrates that Marymount Hospital’s stroke care program follows national standards and guidelines that can significantly improve the outcomes for stroke patients.

 

Marymount’s multi-specialty team members from emergency department personnel to local paramedic squad members are especially trained on how to identify a stroke victim, assess the severity of a stroke, and treat stroke victims. Our dedicated Stroke Unit for inpatient care ensures that our stroke patients receive exceptional care.
