Acute Heart Attack Ready

Mercer Health has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® and the American Heart Association’s Heart-Check mark for Acute Heart Attack Ready Certification. The Joint Commission’s Acute Heart Attack Ready Certification recognizes hospitals that meet standards denoting the highest level of commitment to consistent and optimal heart attack care. The mission of the Acute Heart Attack Ready program at Mercer Health is to provide exceptional, timely, and evidence-based treatment for those suffering from life-threatening heart attacks.

Stroke Care

Mercer Health is part of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s Telestroke Network. The Telestroke Network utilizes video technology that directly links Ohio State stroke specialists to the our hospital physicians. This allows Ohio State’s team to interview the patient, view test results and vital signs and prescribe medications to be administered within minutes. Ohio State’s stroke specialists then work together with physicians at Mercer Health to determine what the next best step is for the patient’s treatment. Sometimes patients can be successfully treated locally. If an advanced level of care is required, a transfer to Ohio State’s Stroke Comprehensive Center is arranged.
