RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (KESQ)– Eisenhower Health received the American Heart Association’s Get with the Guidelines- Stroke Gold quality achievement award for its commitment to appropriate stroke treatment, helping save lives.
Get with the Guidelines is the American Heart Association as well as the American Stroke Association’s hospital-based quality improvement program that aims to provide hospitals with the latest research-based guidelines.

Along with the Get with the Guidelines recognition, Eisenhower Health has been awarded the American Heart Association’s Target: StrokeSM Honor Roll award and the American Heart Association’s Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll award for their continuous commitment to ensuring patients get the most up to date treatments.
