A Stroke-ready Certified Emergency Department: For the Right Care, Right Now

When a stroke happens, time is of the essence. That’s why the emergency department at Bethesda Arrow Springs is stroke-ready certified by the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal. Our certified doctors and nurses are ready 24/7 to deliver immediate care in our state-of-the-art emergency department.

Our 24-hour emergency department is ready for anything. We handle emergencies on-site or, in rare cases, we stabilize a patient and arrange transfer to Bethesda North Hospital. As part of the TriHealth system, we share the same board-certified physicians, specially trained nurses and respiratory therapists.

Early recognition is the most important factor when it comes to stroke.

Remember to B.E.F.A.S.T.

• Balance - Watch for sudden loss of balance.
• Eyes Is there a sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes? Or double vision?
• Face Drooping Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile.
• Arm Weakness Is one arm weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
• Speech Difficulty Is speech slurred, are they unable to speak, or are they hard to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence, like "the sky is blue." Is the sentence repeated correctly?
• Time to call 9-1-1 If the person shows any of these symptoms, even if the symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get them to the hospital immediately.

The most common symptoms of stroke are face drooping, arm weakness and speech difficulty. However, there are other associated symptoms.
