Each year hundreds of patients are treated at Doctors Hospital of Sarasota for stroke, heart attack and heart failure. To ensure local residents get the best care, the hospital has made a commitment to follow specific quality measures by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology Foundation. The hospital was recently recognized with several quality awards including three important awards for heart attack and stroke treatment; Stroke Gold Plus Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus, Mission: Lifeline STEMI Receiving Center- Silver, and Heart Failure Silver Plus. The hospital earned these awards by meeting specific quality measures for the diagnosis and treatment of patients; proper use of medications; and before patients are discharged, receiving information on managing their conditions and a follow up appointment. The goal is to reduce hospital readmissions and help patients improve their quality of life.
