Saint Luke’s Health System’s four metro hospitals have received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. This award recognizes the hospitals’ commitments and success in implementing excellent care for stroke patients, according to evidence-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved, shorter recovery times, and fewer readmissions to the hospital.
In addition, Saint Luke’s Hospital of Kansas City has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Heart Failure Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award, demonstrating the hospital’s commitment to ensuring heart failure patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines founded in the latest scientific evidence.
