ACCREDITED TOWER HEALTH HOSPITALS

READING HOSPITAL

Reading Hospital is certified as an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center (CSC),
which is the highest available designation. This certification is awarded only
after a rigorous evaluation, and demonstrates the ability to receive and treat
the most complex patients. This includes both ischemic (blocked blood vessel)
and hemorrhagic (brain aneurysm) strokes.

Here’s how Reading Hospital achieved CSC designation:

 * Program leadership. Our team is led by medical directors with extensive
   cerebrovascular expertise.
 * 24/7 stroke rapid response team. Our best-in-class, onsite team of vascular
   neurologists and emergency physicians work together to identify stroke
   symptoms and quickly initiate treatment.
 * Advanced imaging capabilities. Reading Hospital offers 24/7 imaging for
   stroke care, including computed tomography, computed tomography angiography,
   computed tomography perfusion, cerebral angiography, and stroke magnetic
   resonance imaging. We also perform cranial and cardiac ultrasounds, when
   needed.
 * Neuroradiologists. Specialists provide expert interpretation of advanced
   brain imaging and timely communication to our vascular neurologists to assist
   with emergent treatment decisions.
 * Neurointerventionalists. Using minimally invasive techniques, our 24/7 team
   quickly removes blood clots from brain vessels and restores blood flow to
   preserve brain tissue.
 * Vascular neurosurgeons. Specializing in treating blood vessel abnormalities
   of the brain, such as an aneurysm (a bulging in an artery), this team of
   subspecialized neurosurgeons performs precise procedures to clip or coil the
   aneurysm to reduce the risk of further bleeding.
 * Vascular surgeons. Specializing in treating carotid stenosis with surgical
   procedures, stenting, and trans-carotid stenting (TCAR).
 * Dedicated neuro-intensive care unit. A 24/7, neuro-specialized intensivist
   service providing advanced multimodality monitoring.
 * Neurointensivists. Our experts specialize in acute brain disorders and treat
   life-threatening medical complications that are impacted by a stroke. These
   complications can involve the heart, lungs, and kidneys.
 * Dedicated stroke unit. Our inpatient stroke unit brings together
   hospitalists, cardiologists, physical and occupational therapists, speech
   therapists, specialty trained nurses, and other care providers with
   experience in stroke care.
 * Extensive collaboration with regional first responders. We work with local
   paramedics and emergency medical technicians to facilitate quick recognition
   and triage.
 * Active in stroke research. We study the effects and care of stroke to help
   improve outcomes.
 * Rigorous data collection, peer review, and performance improvement
   initiatives.


PHOENIXVILLE HOSPITAL


POTTSTOWN HOSPITAL

Pottstown and Phoenixville Hospitals are certified as Primary Stroke Centers
(PSC), signifying our commitment to delivering standardized care centered on

suspected. They have the 24/7 ability to treat ischemic (blocked blood vessel)
stroke with life-saving "clot-busting" medication, and admit patients to
dedicated stroke beds.

Here’s how Pottstown and Phoenixville Hospitals achieved PSC designation:

 * Medical Director with experience in cerebrovascular disease
