Stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, so brain cells die. Early stroke detection and treatment are key to improving survival, minimizing disability and accelerating recovery times. Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest research- and evidence-based guidelines. Get With The Guidelines – Stroke is an in-hospital program for improving stroke care by promoting consistent adherence to these guidelines, which can minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and even prevent death. “Chicot Memorial Medical Center is committed to improving

She was compassionate, kind and so professional. She never rushed through the visit and always listened to my mother and I. She was prompt in speaking with the Dr. and letting us know what we needed to do. Anything we needed she helped us arrange. I have worked in home health, and I know the challenges it presents in serving a patient and she was outstanding. Her caring attitude was felt in every conversation, and she made my mother feel like she was the only person she was caring for. My mother was difficult to draw blood and I watched her patiently search for a vein so there was little to no pain involved. She searched all over and treated her so kindly my mother never realized what was happening.
