HCA HealthONE Swedish’s legacy of neurological care excellence stretches back decades. The hospital introduced Colorado’s first MRI and CT scanners in the 1970s, and became the first facility in the state to be certified as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by The Joint Commission in 2004. Years of dedicated innovation later, HCA HealthONE Swedish was honored with the elite Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center designation. Paired with an American College of Surgeons verified Level I Trauma Center, HCA HealthONE Swedish physicians and caregivers provide an unparalleled level of care for the most challenging neurological injuries and illnesses.
“Healthgrades' recognition of our stroke and neurological care excellence underscores what’s most important: providing great outcomes for our patients," said Sara Minott, vice president of neurosciences. “Those outcomes are the result of our multidisciplinary team’s expertise, the investments we’ve made to provide access to the latest technology and our care team’s rigorous adherence to evidence-based treatments focused on whole-patient wellness.”
In addition to accolades from Healthgrades, HCA HealthONE Swedish has been recognized by the American Heart Association with its Get with the Guidelines - Target Stroke: Honor Roll Elite Plus and Advanced Therapy awards.
