** About Us **
Littleton Adventist Hospital's stroke program has recently been named to the Target Stroke Honor Roll by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. The criteria for Target Stroke is to give IV TPA within 60 minutes, more than 50% of the time, for one quarter (minimum of 6 patients treated). Littleton Adventist Hospital treated 5/8 TPA stroke patients within 60 minutes, April-June 2010. Collaboration between EMS, the Emergency Department, neurologists, CT, radiologists and pharmacy made this recognition possible.
