Our Lady of the Lake has earned the Get with the Guidelines Stroke Silver Plus Quality Achievement Award from The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association.

OLOL is recognized for its commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of stroke care by ensuring that stroke patients receive treatment according to nationally accepted standards and recommendations.

“Our goal in this journey to Primary Stroke Center Certification has always been about best practice stroke care for our patients. Participating in Get With the Guidelines Stroke is our measure of that quality,” said Liz Marcotte, RN, Neuroscience Program Coordinator. “This recognition speaks to the quality commitment we have throughout the continuum of care here at OLOL for stroke patients.”

The American Heart and Stoke Associations’ mission is to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. They are dedicated to prevention, diagnosis and treatment to save lives from stroke — America’s No. 3 killer and a leading cause of serious disability.
