Health Essentials - Fall 2010 - Euclid - (Page 2)

from the president Our stroke center is now certified In a recent Health Essentials I told you that Euclid Hospital applied for stroke certification. I am proud to let you know we have been certified as an Advanced Primary Stroke Center. What does this mean to you? If you or a loved one suffers a stroke, you can be confident that our staff, along with local EMS providers, is trained to assess and treat you. Being a Certified Stroke Center means we are held to the highest standards in the areas of quality and safety, which means the best care for your family. This distinction was given by The Joint Commission—the international governing body that evaluates health care organizations to ensure they provide safe and effective care of the highest quality. Obtaining this certification signifies that our stroke program meets strict criteria. Being an Advanced Primary Stroke Center shows our commitment to your health care and enhances our ability to meet your needs. We are ready to treat you with the highest quality of care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. euclid Hospital 18901 Lake shore Blvd. euclid, oH 44119 216.531.9000 Joanne Zeroske, Bsn, MBA president, euclid Hospital cLeVeLAnd cLinic HeALtH systeM – eAst region executiVe coMMittee ronald J. ross, Md, chairman dawn Bailey, Bsn, MAoM, rn gary Birnbaum, Md david L.
