Ridgeview Waconia and Chaska Campuses Renewed as Acute Stroke Ready Hospitals
Ridgeview is pleased to announce that its Waconia and Chaska hospital campuses’ designation as Acute Stroke Ready Hospitals (ASRH) by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has been renewed. ASRH Designation requires an Acute Stroke Team available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at both Ridgeview’s Waconia Campus and Chaska Campus. The MDH partners with the American Heart Association, hospitals, EMS agencies and others to implement this coordinated system of care for Minnesotans. ASRH designation is important for our community. Watch how Pat Neaton, was receiving quality care in less than 10 minutes after suffering a stroke.
