OSU Medical Center has been officially certified as a Primary Stroke Center! This certification recognizes OSUMC as a hospital with the staffing, infrastructure and protocols to quickly evaluate, stabilize and treat most emergency stroke patients.
Yesterday, we hosted a hospital-wide celebration to thank everyone who helped achieve this milestone. Thank you to the volunteers and dietary staff for serving employees delicious Qdoba bowls!
We are so proud of Cardiovascular Services, the Emergency Department, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and inpatient care teams for their dedication to accomplishing this goal. Because of their hard work, patients will benefit from faster diagnosis, coordinated stroke care and improved outcomes when every minute matters.er
