Stanford Hospital is first in nation to earn comprehensive stroke center designation
Stanford Hospital & Clinics is the first hospital in the country to earn the newest level of certification for advanced stroke care, awarded by the Joint Commission, the nation's oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.
"Stroke patients who are treated at Stanford can have confidence that the hospital has put in place the critical elements necessary to meet their unique needs," said commission president Mark Chassin, MD, in announcing the certification on Nov. 16.
