Stroke Outcomes

Springfield Memorial Hospital is committed to providing the highest quality healthcare for our patients who have experienced a stroke.

These graphs show how many patients have come to Memorial over the previous three years for stroke care, and what kind of stroke the patients were diagnosed with.

The Joint Commission, a national healthcare accrediting organization, worked with the American Heart Association, American Stroke Association and the Brain Attack Coalition to determine specific stroke measures accredited hospitals must take when they are caring for patients who have had a stroke.

As a hospital that has earned the Comprehensive Stroke Center Designation, Memorial adheres to the national stroke guidelines.
