MDH renews GRHS’ stroke-ready status
Glencoe Regional Health Services’ (GRHS) designation as an Acute Stroke Ready Hospital was recently renewed by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). This three-year designation certifies that GRHS is equipped to evaluate, stabilize and provide life-saving emergency care to patients with acute stroke symptoms.
“We are very proud of our ability to confirm a stroke diagnosis and start treatment with clot-busting medication in under an hour,” said James Jessen, GRHS emergency services physician. “Every minute counts when you are trying to preserve brain cells.”
