ALTON – OSF Saint Anthony’s Health Center has once again received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Gold Plus quality achievement award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disability. Stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, so brain cells die. Early stroke detection and treatment are key to improving survival, minimizing disability and accelerating recovery times. Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient

MARYVILLE – Recovery and Postpartum Nurse, Ashli Duncan, RN, of Anderson Hospital’s Pavilion for Women was recently honored with The DAISY Award® For Extraordinary Nurses. The award is part of the DAISY Foundation's programs to recognize the super-human efforts nurses perform every day. The nomination submitted read: “I had just given birth the evening before. Baby girl was Coombs positive and woke up extremely jaundiced and frighteningly lethargic. I couldn't get her to wake up to breastfeed like she had the night before. This was an incredibly stressful time as we were told the only way to flush the bilirubin was to feed baby. So I spent the long, agonizing day trying, unsuccessfully, to get baby to feed. For hours and hours I worked with the lactation consultant, blew on baby's face, and rubbed cold wipes on her naked body trying to wake her for long enough that I could shove my breast into her mouth. My milk wasn't in and baby was so lethargic even if we
