About Mountain Vista Medical Center's Primary Stroke Center
Mountain Vista Medical Center is a nationally certified Primary Stroke Center by DNV Healthcare. This means that our experienced team of nurses and physicians on the medical staff has been trained with industry-leading guidelines, which shape our approach to providing high-quality stroke care and treatment. Our goal is to improve the long-term quality of life for stroke patients in all that we do.
Advanced Stroke Care
As a designated stroke receiving facility, we have a dedicated “stroke team” that is called into action the moment we know a stroke patient is on the way. We have 24/7 coverage for important diagnostic procedures such as CT angiography, cerebral angiography, and diffusion and perfusion MRI. These services assist physicians in making informed diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite
Additionally, we participate in the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines®–Stroke program and are proud recipients of the Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. The goal of the program is to improve the overall quality of care for stroke patients by improving acute stroke treatment and preventing future strokes and cardiovascular events.
