Primary Stroke Center Certification Program

Millions of people throughout the United States have suffered from stroke. People need to know where they can go in their community to get the best stroke care possible. Facilities that comply with national standards for stroke are certified as one of those places.

HFAP initiated a Primary Stroke Certification program in 2006 using recommendations from the Brain Attack Coalition as the foundation for its standards. Moving forward HFAP has also endorsed the American Heart Association’s Get with the Guidelines as a tool for patient management and performance measure.

HFAP strives to provide its customers with a user friendly and educationally focused set of standards for all of its programs.
