TriStar Greenview Regional Hospital earns national recognition for stroke care

Bowling Green, Ky. — TriStar Greenview Regional Hospital has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines - Stroke Gold Plus with Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite and Target Type 2 Diabetes quality achievement award. The recognition highlights the hospital’s commitment to providing stroke patients with high-quality care according to nationally recognized, evidence-based guidelines that improve patient outcomes and reduce disability.

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked by a clot or bursts, leading to brain cell death. Early detection and treatment are key to improving survival, minimizing disability and accelerating recovery times.

“At TriStar Greenview, we are deeply committed to stroke care excellence,” says Mike Sherrod, chief executive officer for TriStar Greenview Regional Hospital. “We invest in continuous education and know that empowering our teams with the latest knowledge and skills directly translates to better outcomes for our patients.”
