Save of the Quarter winners announced

USA Health University Hospital's Stroke Program has launched a new initiative, "Save of the Quarter." Announced during the monthly Stroke Steering Committee meeting, staff recognized emergency medical service (EMS) personnel and a nurse in the emergency department who went above and beyond to help save a brain. For the fourth quarter of 2024, the "Save of the Quarter" went to AirCARE1 crew, including Johanna Rude, Kenny Hanek and Kristina Meyer, and University Hospital nurse Catherine Graves, who recognized her patient was having a stroke and quickly administered treatment. The initiative is a partnership between University Hospital and Medtronic, a healthcare technology company that develops products to address chronic health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and more.
