Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center receives national recognition for commitment to providing high-quality stroke care

The American Heart Association presents Get With The Guidelines award

for proven dedication to best practices and life-saving care

 

HOUSTON (August 22, 2022) — Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center, west Houston’s only Comprehensive Stroke Center, has received two American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines achievement awards for demonstrating commitment to following up-to-date, research-based guidelines for the treatment of stroke, ultimately leading to more lives saved, shorter recovery times and fewer readmissions to the hospital.

Every 40 seconds, someone in the U.S. has a stroke or heart attack, and heart disease and stroke are the No. 1 and No. 5 causes of death in the United States, respectively. Studies show patients can recover better when providers consistently follow treatment guidelines.

Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest evidence- and research-based guidelines.

“Memorial Hermann Memorial City is dedicated to advancing the health of the community we serve, which is validated by this national recognition.  Every day, our team works to improve care by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines and streamlining processes to ensure timely and proper care for strokes,” said Paul O’Sullivan, Senior Vice President and CEO of Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center.  “The Get With The Guidelines program makes it easier for our team to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis, which helps us ensure our patients experience longer, healthier lives.”

This year, Memorial Hermann Memorial City received these achievement awards:

  • Get With The Guidelines Silver Stroke Plus with
    • Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus
    • Type II Diabetes Honor Roll

“We are pleased to recognize Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center for its commitment to caring for those in their community who need stroke care,” said John Warner, M.D., FAHA, past president of the American Heart Association and executive vice president for health system affairs at UT Southwestern Medical Center, in Dallas. “Hospitals that follow the American Heart Association’s quality improvement protocols often see improved patient outcomes, fewer readmissions and lower mortality rates – a win for health care systems, families and communities.”

“These awards demonstrate our stroke team’s relentless focus on providing safe, evidence-based, quality care and I’d like to thank our staff and affiliated physicians, including our partners at UTHealth Houston, for their unwavering commitment,” said O’Sullivan.

Making a jack-o-lantern is a great way to show creativity and seasonal spirit in the fall. In the Memorial District, find the perfect pumpkin and the supplies to make this decoration, and add Halloween flair to your home for the spooky season.

First, decide how your jack-o-lantern will look. Will it be cute, funny, or frightening? A traditional jack-o-lantern has triangle eyes and a silly smile or scary grin with teeth that are big and goofy or sharp and spooky. However, there are no rules. Make the jack-o-lantern that is right for you.

Keep the design ideas in mind as you shop Memorial District retailers for supplies. For example, plan to carve standard triangle eyes and a smile with teeth, or jazz up your jack-o-lantern with stencils at craft or stationery stores in the community. For example, add shooting stars and crescent moons with stencils from Joann.

Next, find pumpkins at HEB Bunker Hill or Randalls on Memorial Drive. You may even see pumpkins for sale at the Memorial City Fall Fest and Market on October 17, 2021. This event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will have food trucks, hayrides, live music, food, and drinks. Plus, there will be a pumpkin patch the benefits Epilepsy Foundation Texas. Have fun and keep an eye out for the perfect pumpkin to become your jack-o-lantern.

Look for a pumpkin with a smooth side that will make for a good canvas. Then, at home, wash the pumpkin and make sure there is no dirt or debris. Dry it with an old towel.

Although you could use stencils and markers to draw lines directly on the pumpkin, a better solution might be to draw your design on a piece of paper, tape the paper to the pumpkin, and poke holes along the lines of your drawing with a strong needle or a screwdriver. Then, use a carving knife to cut a round hole at the top of the pumpkin, which will create a lid. Removing the lid will give you access to the insides, which you can scoop out with a serrated spoon. All of these supplies come ready in the Masters Collection Pumpkin Decorating Carving Kit at Home Depot on Lumpkin Road. Just make sure an adult handles all the carving tools and responsibilities. If a child wants to participate, perhaps they can paint a jack-o-lantern face on a pumpkin with paint from Joann.

Finally, add a small lit candle inside your jack-o-lantern. Try a seasonal scented candle like the Heirloom Pumpkin Tin Candle from Francesca’s at either Memorial City Mall or Town and Country Village to take the October spirit up a notch.

If all this sounds like too much work and you would prefer to buy a jack-o-lantern to have from season to season, check out the black metal jack-o-lanterns from Pottery Barn at 12850 Memorial Drive. They’re cute and spooky at the same time, which is pretty much what Halloween is all about after all.

We hope you can carve out a little time for yourself to have some gourd old-fashioned fun!

With quality meeting space, free parking, and internet, the hotel will meet the demands of business travel and accommodate visitors to the area. Business travelers enjoy the hotel surroundings of the many upscale restaurants, shopping, team building activities, and places to socialize after a busy day with clients.

It is already a popular venue for guests attending tournaments at the nearby Baseball USA facility. With reasonable room rates and upscale amenities, the new Holiday Inn Express is a great addition to the Memorial District.

 

February is Heart Health Awareness Month. This year, there are more considerations than usual around heart health. According to cardiologist Razvan Dadu, MD, at Memorial Hermann Medical Group Comprehensive Heart Care, COVID-19 affects cardiovascular health. Dadu indicates in an article for Memorial Hermann that people should pay attention to heart health, especially after age 50 and in the pandemic. He outlines concerns, such as weight, nutrition and fitness, blood pressure, and habits.
"Increased body weight increases the risk of hypertension, or high blood pressure, and diabetes," Dadu says, reminding readers of the benefits of a healthy diet and regular fitness routine to balance body weight. He recommends 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity a day, which can mean different things. "Brisk walking, swimming, or mowing the lawn involve aerobic exercise, which has been shown to help maintain, and even improve, your heart health."
The benefits of moderate activity include the reduction of blood pressure and cholesterol levels. When these points go unchecked, they lead to larger issues like atherosclerosis. On the other hand, when people eat well and work out, they increase their lifespan and enjoy each day more. Not smoking helps, too.
"Having a cardiologist who knows your health and family history can help you manage these risk factors and intervene before cardiovascular disease becomes severe," Dadu says. Unfortunately, some heart patients who worry about contracting COVID-19 at a health clinic or hospital have stopped visiting cardiologists during the pandemic. Dadu urges people to put their worries aside and seek medical care for heart health. Hospitals like Memorial Hermann here in the Memorial District take every precaution to reduce coronavirus spread, so it is important to keep appointments and continue focusing on heart health.
"The best thing to do is to avoid contracting COVID-19," Dadu said about keeping your heart healthy and strong during the pandemic. Some of his broader recommendations for health and safety in February and during but also pandemic may sound familiar. He encourages people to follow guidelines from the CDC and other health officials, wear a face mask in public, keep a distance of at least 6 feet from others, and wash their hands frequently and thoroughly. Then, report new symptoms to healthcare providers. "That's the best way to protect your heart."

Is getting more sleep part of your New Year’s resolution? Fortunately, Memorial District businesses specialize in helping people get a good night’s sleep. Whether you need a new sleep mask, a new mattress, cozy hotel stays, or something in between, the Memorial District can help.

You spend a third of your life in bed, so be indulgent and make sure your bedding represents your mood. Are you someone who winds down best in a room with muted colors? Do dark colors do the trick?

Finally, talk with medical professionals if your sleep routine is off.

For example, Allergy & ENT Associates can determine if you have sleep apnea and then help you correct the problem and get your sleep back to normal.
