Stroke Champion: Ethan Cooper

Eureka Springs Hospital ER director Joy Kennedy, right, presents the Stroke Champion Bronze Club award to nurse Ethan Cooper. Ethan’s door-to-needle time is 53 minutes, seven minutes faster than the goal of 60 minutes. Eureka Springs Hospital is the only stroke- and trauma- certified hospital in Carroll County, and its nurses have received several awards from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences stroke program for fast, compassionate care.
