CEO Update: March 14, 2025

Regional Stroke Education Updates

The Regional EMS Stroke Committee, led by WREMAC, has developed updated stroke training to improve recognition and response times. This education covers two key assessment tools: 

• BEFAST Stroke Assessment – Helps identify strokes quickly. 

• FAST-ED LVO Scale – Detects large vessel occlusions (LVOs) for better treatment decisions. 

The first CME event was recently held at Mercy Flight, and the session was recorded for those who couldn’t attend. We strongly encourage all providers to review this training and share it with their teams to ensure they are prepared to deliver the best stroke care possible. Click here to view the training.

Looking ahead, our next CME event is scheduled for this Tuesday March 18 at 7:00 p.m., at STHCS, featuring Dr. Belle and Dr. Coolidge as presenters. This is another great opportunity to strengthen stroke education across our region.  Click here to register!

New Roof Project at STHCS 

We’re excited to share that work on a new roof at STHCS will begin in the coming weeks! This project is funded through DASNY’s Nonprofit Infrastructure Capital Investment Program (NICIP), and we are grateful for their support in helping us maintain and improve our facility. 

Peterson Roofing has been contracted for the job, and we appreciate your patience as the work moves forward. This investment will help keep our building safe, functional, and ready to serve our staff, partners, and the community members who depend on our programs. 

Thank you for your support as we continue to improve our infrastructure and the services we provide!
