Stroke care in St. Helena
The Joint Commission’s accreditation for Advanced Primary Stroke
Center at Adventist Health St. Helena validates the hospital’s abilities
and practices in preventing and treating strokes. Those who receive treatment
here are guided through a process from beginning to end by a resolute
team specializing in stroke treatment. The goal of the stroke team is
to quickly and appropriately care for the stroke patient and return them
to a desirable quality of life. This is especially important to the members
of the Upper Napa Valley Community, as prompt evaluation and treatment
are critical for saving brain function in stroke patients. Now, with certification,
our ability to save brain cells combined with the new expedited access
to this care means we save both lives and the quality of those lives for
our community. Stroke patients can now get to an Advanced Primary Stroke
Center within minutes. In addition to the exceptional care offered at
Adventist Health St. Helena, an exclusive partnership with the world-class
UCSF Neurovascular Disease and Comprehensive Stroke Center brings elevated
services to patients as needed.
As an Advanced Primary Stroke Center, Adventist Health St. Helena offers the following standards of care: A dedicated stroke-focused program; medical professionals trained in stroke care; individualized care that specifically meets the needs of stroke patients; patient involvement in their hospital care. The Joint Commission certification marks the culmination of our efforts in training and staffing to ensure the highest level of care.
