Stroke Champion

Eureka Springs Hospital ER Director Joy Kennedy was honored this week with two awards from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Stroke Program: a certificate of excellence for a successful consult and the Stroke Champion award for an impressive door-to-needle time of 48 minutes. Guidelines recommend a door-to-needle time of 60 minutes, so Joy came in 12 minutes under the average. Eureka Springs Hospital is a stroke-certified hospital and proud to be part of the UAMS Stroke Program. (Photo courtesy of Eureka Springs Hospital)
