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:
“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.

It’s time to show Dad some extra love and appreciation, and the Memorial District is the perfect place to do it! We have everything you need right here in the District, including great gifts, memorable dining experiences, and events the whole family can enjoy. Read on for some fabulous Father’s Day ideas.
If your dad loves sports, treat him to a new jersey or his favorite team’s ball cap from Academy Sports and Outdoors (9734 Katy Fwy). If he’s an avid outdoorsman, he will surely enjoy the latest hunting, fishing, or camping gear as he prepares for summertime adventures, so pay a visit to Fishing Tackle Unlimited (10303 Katy Fwy), too.
Speaking of upcoming adventures, we think the men’s collection by Brahmin is a great place to find bags that can function as an airplane carry-on, a weekend carryall, or an office tote. The versatile Beckett tote is always impressive, whether Dad uses it for vacation or in the office. Find a variety of wallets, travel bags, business bags, and backpacks at the retailer’s CITYCENTRE location (796 Town and Country Blvd., Suite 110).
Best dad ever. Father’s Day is coming soon… give him the gift of Brahmin so he can show off his personal style!

Does Dad like to whip up his own creations? At Williams Sonoma (12850 Memorial Dr.), you can find specialty kitchenware for dads who enjoy wearing the chef’s hat and being a grill master.

Alternatively, you could skip the kitchenware and put together a well-deserved home-cooked meal just for him. Williams Sonoma’s test kitchen menu has a ton of great recipes for dishes like Skillet Spoon Bread and Pork Sliders with Cherry Compote. These dishes could complement some of the great steaks over at Omaha Steaks (650 West Bough Lane).
