Great news! On October 31, House Bill 1400 unanimously passed the House of Representatives. This bill would establish a system for recognizing accredited Primary Stroke Centers across the Commonwealth.
Approximately every 40 seconds, someone has a stroke. Every minute that passes without receiving proper treatment can mean the difference between life or death or a lifetime of disability. Primary Stroke Centers provide state-of-the-art care necessary to treat acute strokes. Sadly, over 60% of Americans are unaware of Primary Stroke Centers or if one exists in a hospital within their community. That’s why HB1400 and Primary Stroke Center designation in Pennsylvania is so important.
Please take a moment to thank your House of Representatives member for supporting this vitally important bill.
Thank you for your help in improving stroke care in PA and please stay tuned for further updates as this legislation moves to the Senate for consideration.
