St. Joseph Health Grimes Hospital Reaccredited as Level 3 Stroke Support Facility
Navasota, TX, February 17, 2020—The Texas Department of State Health Services has
reaccredited St. Joseph Health Grimes Hospital as a Level 3 Stroke Support Facility in
Trauma Service Area-N for its commitment to ensuring quality care is available for stroke
patients in Grimes county and the surrounding areas.
A Stroke Support Facility provides resuscitation, stabilization and assessment of stroke victims
and either provides treatment or arranges for immediate transfer to a higher level of stroke care,
such as St. Joseph Health Regional Hospital. It also provides ongoing educational
opportunities in stroke-related topics for health care professionals and the public and
implements stroke prevention programs.
"The surveyor commented on the strength of our stroke program and our team's leadership role
in developing a successful stroke program," said Erin Marietta, Director of Operations for CHI
St. Joseph Health Grimes Hospital. "Our designation as a Level 3 support facility emphasizes
our commitment to providing quality, life-saving care to stroke patients in our community."
All St. Joseph Health Critical Access Hospitals are credentialed as Stroke Support Facilities,
with a designated stroke coordinator who oversees the stroke program and ensures the program
meets safety and quality standards set by the state and accrediting agencies.
