I'm convinced the CEO wishes to make certain the best care possible is provided to our community. His detailed response to me is right on target. I hope the stroke issue is on the way to a rapid and complete recovery.

My husband was sent to the ER right from our doctor's office on March 6th. He was given a CT scan of the brain and was seen by a neurologist. Other tests were done before it was determined that he had not suffered a stroke. We followed up with a visit to the neurologist today and my husband is being tested for other matters. If it had been determined at intake that transfer to Leesburg was necessary, it would have been done. As for the hospital, the food isn't bad, and will be better when it isn't shipped in from another facility. The food service at TVRH is shut down currently because of the renovation. You're right, the parking stinks. Finally, slowness. In all fairness, the ER isn't slow - patients are triaged and treated accordingly. While my husband was there, every bay was full, there were patients in the corridor, and I overheard one of the paramedics comment to a nurse that his company had to send two additional ambulances up from Orlando that day because it was so busy. Look at our aging population. Look at the time of year (peak season) - yes, things will be slower than you may like. Nothing is worse than waiting for help when you or a loved one is ill, but everyone is treated by need, and not on a first-come, first-served basis. |

Is there a list regarding what hospital is best to go for this or that?
With so many seniors, healthcare needs to be a first priority. gurneys in halls, wait times, not going here or there for an accident (other post) and so on. I'm alarmed. |

Much of the issue with the hospitals, not just our own, is it's the "high season" and all the visitors, seasonal folks and renters also are being served. We're a state full of retired people. As for parking...I didn't think it was horrible once I got the "lay of the land". I guess I wasn't aware of the valet parking which is great by the way...$5.00 for the day and you can leave and come back on that same dollar...otherwise they have a shuttle too. I never had to wait for that as it seemed to be right where I needed it at the time. Do not park in valet parking otherwise you could get towed...I did get a "naughty slip" one time then I figured things out with the parking. I have to wonder how many folks use the "for urgent care only" parking and aren't using that facility??!!
Otherwise we have a really excellent thing going for us! Can't wait til the new part opens up!!!! |

I'm confused by the CEO's response and some of the posters' statements. If I have a stroke, can TVRH administer the brain-saving rapid care or not? I thought there was a medicine that if administered within an hour can lessen the severity of stroke. Do they have the ability to do that?

Yes they can. They are licensed by the state to do so but he predicts it will be another year before they can apply for accreditation status as a primary stroke center.

Thanks, DB. Then in your opinion (and I won't hold you responsible for this opinion), if someone is having a stroke, is it best to go to TVRH to get the fastest administration of this medicine?

Based on what the ceo reported to me I would be comfortable going to TVRH for stroke care. They have the people and protocols in place - at this point they are working to get everything together to prove themselves worthy of accreditation.
