Jefferson Hospital STEMI and Neuro Alert System

Jefferson Hospital enables EMS agencies to activate any Stroke and/or STEMI alerts as they see fit.

For NEURO alerts, it only takes 1 positive finding on a Cincinnati Stroke Scale to activate. As soon as you identify a possible stroke, contact the Communications Center.

For STEMI alerts, we request you “Call It When You See It”. As soon as you identify a STEMI, contact the Communications Center."
