We’re proud to be designated as a Comprehensive Stroke Center by Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services and we’ve worked hard to achieve Primary Plus Stroke Center recognition from DNV, an independent organization that provides accreditation based on quality and patient safety measures. This means we meet all the rigorous standards and have the protocols in place to deliver rapid diagnosis, leading-edge treatment, and seamless, coordinated recovery.
