LEWISTON — The American Heart Association has rated Central Maine Medical Center among the best in the nation for its care of stroke patients. The hospital also got high marks for its treatment of stroke patients who have diabetes.

The AHA announced earlier this month that CMMC has achieved Get with the Guidelines Stroke Gold Plus with Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll recognition.

Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the AHA and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest research and evidence-based guidelines. Get With The Guidelines-Stroke is an in-hospital program for improving stroke care by promoting consistent adherence to these guidelines, which can minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and even prevent death.
