BCMC Achieves Pearl Status from Arkansas Department of Health for Door to CT Time


The Arkansas Department of Health recently announced that Bradley County Medical Center achieved Pearl Status for Door to CT Time as the ADH released its awards for outstanding performance in stroke patient care for the reporting period of July 2024 through June 2025.

BCMC’s Pearl Status reflects an 85% to 89.99% level of adherence and is based on key performance measures from the Arkansas Stroke Registry. This award recognizes the care, consistency, and teamwork that our Emergency Room Department conveys to patients showing signs of a stroke. “Time is brain” is a common phrase used to emphasize how quickly human nervous tissue is rapidly lost as stroke progresses so making sure patients receive the right care at the right time is critical.
