MediSys Health Network Earns Gold

The MediSys Health Network received national recognition and multiple gold awards from the American Heart Association (AHA) for providing outstanding heart health and stroke care.

Get With The Guidelines and Mission: Lifeline put the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest evidence- and research-based guidelines. As a participant in Mission: Lifeline and Get With The Guidelines programs, MediSys qualified for the awards by demonstrating its commitment to improving quality care.

This year, Jamaica Hospital Medical Center earned the American Heart Association’s:

  • Get With The Guidelines®-Coronary Artery Disease NSTEMI Gold with Target: Type 2 Diabetes, for its commitment to offering rapid, research-based care to people experiencing a specific type of heart attack known as a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
  • Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke Gold Plus with Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus, Advanced Therapy and Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll award, for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disability.
  • Mission: Lifeline® EMS Gold achievement award, for its commitment to offering rapid and research-based care to people experiencing the most severe form of heart attacks and strokes.

Flushing Hospital Medical Center also earned the AHA’s Mission: Lifeline® EMS Gold achievement award for providing optimal and life-saving care for heart attack and stroke patients. The hospital earned the award by adhering to the latest research-based clinical practices to support better outcomes for patients.

Both hospitals are proud to receive the highest-level awards from the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® and Mission: Lifeline® EMS programs.

“These awards show the MediSys Health Network’s commitment to caring for those in their community who need cardiovascular care,” said Donald Lloyd-Jones, chair of the American Heart Association Quality Oversight Committee and chair of the Department of Preventive Medicine at Northwestern Medicine. “By following the American Heart Association’s quality improvement protocols, MediSys can help realize our shared vision of improved patient outcomes, fewer readmissions and lower mortality rates – a win for health care systems, families and communities.”
