Baton Rouge, LA – The Louisiana Emergency Response Network (LERN) is the agency of state government with the
responsibility of developing and maintaining a statewide system of care coordination for patients suddenly
stricken by serious traumatic injury or time-sensitive illness (such as heart attack and stroke). LERN leaders have
peer survey evidence of a decline of hospital activations for Stroke and STEMI patients that coincides with the
onset of the COVID-19 crisis in Louisiana. LERN’s leaders are concerned that the decline in Stroke and STEMI
activations is the result of understandable but ill-advised reluctance to seek immediate care due to worries and
fears created by the COVID-19 pandemic rather than fewer of these events occurring.
“It is important that people experiencing Stroke or STEMI symptoms seek medical care immediately. Stroke and
STEMI are time-sensitive illnesses that create irreparable damage, and often death, when patients hesitate to
seek the care they need”, says Paige Hargrove, LERN Executive Director.
Christopher White, M.D. is Professor and Chair of Medicine and Cardiology at Ochsner Medical Center and serves
as LERN’s STEMI System medical director. Dr. White states “In Louisiana, and across the country, we are seeing a
dramatic decline in patients with heart attacks coming to the hospital.” The advice to Louisiana citizens is
straightforward says Dr. White “If you are experiencing significant symptoms of increasing chest pain or shortness
of breath this may indicate you are at risk for a heart attack, which is much more life-threatening than the risk of
COVID-19 exposure. Please contact your physician for instructions or come to the Emergency Department for
care. It could save your life.”
LERN’s Stroke System medical director is Sheryl Martin-Schild, M.D. who also serves as the Medical Director of
Neurology & Stroke for Touro Infirmary and New Orleans East Hospital in New Orleans. Dr. Martin-Schild says “We
have treatments for stroke that reduce the chance of disability and dependency – but these treatments are timesensitive and become less effective with each minute of delay.” Stroke symptoms include sudden loss of balance
and/or eyesight, facial weakness or numbness, arm/leg weakness or numbness, clumsiness, speech disturbance,
or terrible headache. Dr. Martin-Schild’s advice is direct, “Do not compromise your forever function due to fears
of being in the hospital. Our emergency services are prepared to respond to your call and our hospitals are
prepared to rapidly provide the care you need. Every minute matters.”
