Methodist Fremont Health was recently recognized by the American Heart Association (AHA) for quality stroke and cardiac care, earning high distinctions among a number of prestigious hospitals nationwide.
This year, Methodist Fremont Health received the Get With The Guidelines – Stroke (Rural Bronze) award for ensuring that stroke patients receive the best, most appropriate research-based treatment:
The hospital also earned the Get With The Guidelines – Coronary Artery Disease (Rural STEMI Silver) award for offering rapid, research-based care to people experiencing dangerous heart attacks.
Additionally, Methodist Fremont Health earned the AHA Get With The Guidelines – Rural Coronary Artery Disease NSTE-ACS (Gold) award for offering the same level of care to people experiencing non ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome. This, after earning a silver award in the same category last year.
“It’s no secret that people living in rural communities face worse cardiovascular outcomes than those in larger cities,” said Brian Brodd, Methodist Fremont Health’s director of cardiopulmonary services. “But these recognitions illustrate Methodist Fremont Health’s commitment to providing quality, lifesaving care – no matter where our patients call home.”
Methodist Fremont Health also recently received recertification of its cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation programs by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR).
