Four hospitals in UPMC’s West Central Pennsylvania and Maryland region, including UPMC Altoona, UPMC Bedford, UPMC Somerset and UPMC Western Maryland, have been nationally recognized for their commitment to high-quality stroke care.

The awards, presented by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, reflect the hospitals’ commitment to modeling 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.
