Transforming Heart Attack Treatment

Among the honors, the Get With The Guidelines – Coronary Artery Disease STEMI Gold Plus with Target: Type 2 Diabetes award stands out.

This recognition validates the hospital’s efforts in fostering patient medication adherence, early follow-up care, and effective patient education aimed at reducing hospital readmissions and elevating quality of life, even for those grappling with chronic heart conditions.

Excellence in Stroke Treatment

The Stroke Gold Plus with Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus with Advanced Therapy with Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll award applauds UC Davis for its swift and efficient stroke treatment protocols. This award underscores the importance of minimizing time between patient arrival and the initiation of thrombolytic therapy, crucial in stroke recovery. As stated in UC Davis Health, immediate treatment can dramatically save lives and mitigate long-term disabilities.

Leading NSTEMI Intervention

The Coronary Artery Disease NSTEMI Silver with Target: Type 2 Diabetes award completes the suite of honors. It reflects UC Davis’s adeptness in managing non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) with precision and adherence to the latest guidelines, ensuring patients receive optimal care.
