🧠⏱️ We know every second counts when someone is suffering from a stroke. Highlands-Cashiers Hospital is an Acute Stroke Ready Hospital, designated by the Joint Commission. We're also proud to be part of our larger HCA Healthcare system of care, which collectively responds to strokes 45% faster than the national standard.

We know door-to-needle (DTN) time is critical. Here, we explain what DTN time is and why it matters. DTN time is the amount of time between an ischemic stroke patient's arrival at the hospital (“door”) and when they receive a clot-busting medication (“needle”) to help restore blood flow to the brain. The faster the medicine is given, the more brain cells can potentially be saved, helping to reduce the risk of long-term disability or stroke.

Know the signs of stroke. Act FAST. Call 911 immediately. To learn more about our expert, lifesaving stroke care, visit https://bit.ly/4opwkMa
