Congratulations on another year of being a Gold Plus Storke Center!

Gold Plus 2026

We’re proud to announce that UF Health Shands Hospital has once again earned the American Heart Association’s Get With The GuidelinesĀ®-Stroke Gold Plus achievement award, along with Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite Plus, Advanced Therapy, and Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll recognition.

This national recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering timely, evidence-based stroke care and achieving the best possible outcomes for our patients. The award is based on performance data collected from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2025, demonstrating sustained excellence in stroke treatment and quality improvement.

Retaining this designation is a testament to the dedication, collaboration, and expertise of our physicians, nurses, therapists, EMS partners, and every member of our multidisciplinary stroke team. Their commitment ensures that patients receive the highest standard of care when every second counts.

Congratulations and thank you to everyone who made this achievement possible. Together, we’re advancing stroke care and making a meaningful difference for the patients and families we serve.
