Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite is being recognized for its work to improve treatment of patients suffering heart attacks.<\/p>\n
The American Heart Association\u2019s Mission: Lifeline program looks to advance the system of care for patients suffering life-threatening conditions. Dallas Regional Medical Center was awarded the Mission: Lifeline Silver Receiving Achievement Award thanks to its implementation of procedures intended to get blood flowing once again in patients whose arteries have become blocked.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s a critical portion of care for those suffering ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), the deadliest type of heart attack, according to American Heart Association materials.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe commend Dallas Regional Medical Center for this award in recognition for following evidence-based guidelines for timely heart attack treatment,\u201d Dr. Tim Henry, chair of the Mission: Lifeline Acute Coronary Syndrome Subcommittee, said in a news release. \u201cWe applaud the significant institutional commitment to their critical role in the system of care for quickly and appropriately treating heart attack patients.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Mission: Lifeline program works to reduce obstacles that can pop up in the chain of reporting heart attacks, from the 911 call to the transport to the emergency room to discharge.<\/p>\n
\u201cDallas Regional Medical Center is dedicated to providing optimal care for heart attack patients,\u201d CEO Glenda Matchett said in a news release. \u201cPatient care is our top priority, so we are thrilled to be recognized for our dedication and achievements in cardiac care through Mission: Lifeline.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
