BCMC Recognized for Advancing Rural Stroke Care
People who live in rural communities live an average of three years fewer than urban counterparts and have a 40% higher likelihood of developing heart disease and face a 30% increased risk for stroke mortality, according to an American Heart Association’s presidential advisory on rural health. Bradley County Medical Center is committed to changing that.
For its efforts to optimize stroke care and reduce gaps in rural health outcomes, BCMC has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® - Stroke Rural Recognition Bronze award.
Stroke is the No. 4 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S, according to the American Heart Association’s 2026 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Report. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel supplying the brain is blocked by a clot or ruptures, preventing blood and oxygen from reaching brain tissue. When this happens, brain cells begin to die. Early detection and rapid treatment are critical to improving survival, minimizing disability and supporting faster recovery.

Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation is a medically supervised program designed to improve the health and well-being of individuals with heart and lung conditions. After any necessary testing, insurance approval, and a thorough patient assessment process, out team will work with each patient to create an individualized treatment plan that fits their specific needs. Combining monitored exercise training, breathing techniques, disease education, healthy weight management, airway clearance, nutrition education, smoking cessation, improvement of stamina and strength, and counseling to help patients reduce stress and improve their overall well-being. The supervised exercise program gradually increases patients' physical activity levels and reduces symptoms, improving their overall fitness and enhanced quality of life. They can engage in daily activities more easily. Some of the qualifying diagnoses include:
Indications for Pulmonary Rehabilitation
• COPD
• COVID -4 weeks- (Long COVID)
• Asthma
• Bronchiectasis
• Interstitial Fibrosis
• Sarcoidosis
• Kyphoscoliosis
• Parkinson's Disease
• Lung Cancer
• Pulmonary Hypertension
• Before and after lung transplantation
• Before and after lung reduction surgery
Indications for Cardiac Rehabilitation
• Heart attack in the last 12 months
• Coronary Artery Bypass surgery
• Stable Angina Pectoris
• Heart Valve repair/replacement
• Coronary Stenting
• Heart or Heart Lung transplant
• Stable Chronic Heart Failure
Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation is an evidence-based intervention that has been shown to improve health outcomes and reduce mortality rates in patients with heart and lung conditions. It is an important part of the recovery process after a cardiac event or chronic lung disease diagnosis. Our goal is to help our patients regain their independence and feel confident in their day-to-day life. Even if the patient's goal is to be able to climb stairs, or carry their own groceries, we want to help them accomplish that. We want to help our patients get stronger, breathe easier, and return to the activities that they love.
