Hendry Regional Medical Center is closing the rural stroke gap and redefining critical access care for their community.
In 2023, the team partnered with TeleSpecialists to build a structured teleneurology program.
The results:
⬩ Door-to-needle times fell 43% in the first year.
⬩ The GWTG-Stroke composite score rose from 74.9% to 95.1%.
⬩ Stroke admissions grew from zero in 2022 to six in 2025.
⬩ Joint Commission Acute Stroke Ready certification
With the right specialist access, a rural hospital can deliver the same standard of stroke care as a major medical center, and keep patients close to home.
