(Aug. 5, 2019) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jointcommission.org\/\">The Joint Commission<\/a> has designated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/uchealth-longs-peak-hospital\/\">UCHealth Longs Peak Hospital<\/a> as a Primary Stroke Center.<\/p>\n<p>The national certification recognizes hospitals that make exceptional efforts to foster better outcomes for stroke care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an organization, we are committed to providing the very best care and experience for every patient, every day,\u201d said Longs Peak Hospital President Lonnie Cramer. \u201cThe Primary Stroke Center certification reflects the additional work we have done to build a stroke program and team of experts that deliver high quality care for our community through efficient protocols, evidenced-based practice and innovative technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Longs Peak\u2019s stroke program was designed to meet the community\u2019s stroke care needs across the full spectrum, said Jennifer Fairbank, the coordinator of the program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe help people in the community to learn about stroke prevention and how to recognize the signs and symptoms of a stroke when it actually happens. We deliver exceptional care at the hospital when a patient is experiencing a stroke. And we work closely with our patients after a stroke to ensure they have the resources and support they need when they leave the hospital so they can go on to live their extraordinary lives,\u201d Fairbank said.<\/p>\n<p>To become a Primary Stroke Center, a hospital must meet high standards to demonstrate it is effectively managed to meet the unique and specialized needs of stroke patients. This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acute stroke team available 24\/7.<\/li>\n<li>Neurologist accessible 24\/7 via in person or telemedicine.<\/li>\n<li>Designated stroke beds.<\/li>\n<li>Sufficient diagnostic services.<\/li>\n<li>Ability to provide IV thrombolytics.<\/li>\n<li>Tracking, monitoring and reporting of performance measures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The 210,000-square-foot hospital at 1750 E. Ken Pratt Blvd. in Longmont opened in the fall of 2017 with 51 inpatient beds and room to grow. In addition to its nationally recognized stroke program, Longs Peak features a Level III trauma center and emergency department, a birth center with Level II special care nursery, an intensive care unit, four operating rooms and 24\/7 retail pharmacy, radiology and laboratory services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>MINUTES MATTER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Time is crucial when treating stroke. Early recognition and response are important to reducing the disabling effects of a stroke. BE FAST is an easy way to remember sudden signs of stroke:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>B &#8211; Balance<\/strong><br \/>\nSudden loss of balance or inability to walk straight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>E &#8211; Eyes<\/strong><br \/>\nSudden loss or changes in vision.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>F &#8211; Face<\/strong><br \/>\nUneven smile or drooping of mouth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A &#8211; Arm<\/strong><br \/>\nSudden loss of arm strength or coordination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>S &#8211; Speech\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inability to speak clearly or to understand what is being said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>T &#8211; Time<\/strong><br \/>\nTime to call 911 if you suspect stroke symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>BE FAST was developed by Intermountain Healthcare, as an adaptation of the FAST model implemented by the American Stroke Association.
