Primary Stroke Center Certification

Every second matters when someone is having a stroke. It is critical to call 9-1-1 and get to the nearest hospital immediately in order to receive the urgent tests and medication within a certain amount of time. Through the course certification, The Chester County Hospital showed that its stroke care program meets national standards and guidelines that can significantly improve outcomes for stroke patients. Stroke patients who find themselves on their way to our Hospital - Chester County's only Primary Stroke Center - can rest assured that they will be receiving the quality of care that meets the highest level of national standards. The Chester County Hospital's commitment to uphold national Stroke standards of care was recognized with a Gold Seal of Approval™ by the Joint Commission in 2008, 2010 and 2012.
