<p>All,<br>
<br>
I wanted to take a moment to share an exciting accomplishment for the department. This year we were awarded an EMS Silver Plus award from the American Heart Association in recognition of the departments STEMI and Stroke care. The AHA looks a variety of metrics compiled from our documentation of Stroke and STEMI, for example; patient contact to 12 lead time; percentage of 35+ year old patients with chest pain receiving a 12 lead; door to balloon time; and stroke notification and documentation criteria. <br>
<br>
This is the highest level of recognition we have received from the AHA to-date and would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our EMS crews. As always, but especially during EMS week, thank you for all that you do.<br>
<br>
A formal certificate will be provided at a later date and will posted in the station.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Ethan<br>
