Sydney Adventist Hospital (San) has become the first private hospital in Australia to receive an Angels Award from the World Stroke Organization, achieving gold status for stroke care.
The award recognizes hospitals that consistently deliver high-quality stroke care, from rapid diagnosis through to timely treatment.
To coincide with the recognition, clinical teams at the San participated in a live stroke simulation, demonstrating the hospital’s coordinated and rapid response to stroke. The simulation followed the full patient journey, from arrival in Emergency through to diagnostic imaging and treatment decision-making, showcasing the teamwork and clinical precision required to deliver effective stroke care, when every minute matters.
Leaders say the recognition builds on the San’s strong foundations in stroke services. The San is one of 40 hospitals in NSW participating in the RISE—Realizing Improvement in Stroke—program, focused on improving patient outcomes and setting global benchmarks. The hospital is also accredited as a Primary Stroke Centre by the Australian Stroke Coalition, with certification valid through to 2028.
Stroke care at the San is delivered by a highly skilled multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Kong Chung and stroke clinical nurse consultant Krista Dormitorio.
