St. Rita’s Medical Center received certification from DNV, a cardiac and stroke hospital accreditation program, as a Comprehensive Stroke Center, which recognizes the facility at the highest level of competence for treatment of serious stroke events.
With this designation, St. Rita’s Medical Center is the only hospital within a 60- to 90-mile radius to be awarded this certification.
“With St. Rita’s increased capabilities as a Comprehensive Stroke Center, and through partnering with area pre-hospital providers for education, training and our Stroke Alert process, we can reduce the time to care and treatment for patients experiencing stroke throughout Allen County and surrounding communities, all the while keeping patients closer to home for the definitive care that they need.” Brain A., EMS Coordinator.
