When a patient arrives at Peterson Health experiencing a heart attack or stroke, there isn’t just one person responsible for their care. It takes an entire team working together with skill, urgency, and compassion. 

From the moment EMS arrives at our doors, every second matters. Physicians, nurses, imaging, laboratory, pharmacy, respiratory therapy, rehabilitation, inpatient care teams, and countless others work together to ensure each patient receives the care they need when it matters most. 

That everyday commitment is why Peterson Health has been recognized by the American Heart Association with six Get With the Guidelines achievement awards for excellence in stroke and cardiovascular care.  

These national recognitions reflect our team’s dedication to consistently following the latest evidence-based treatment guidelines, helping improve outcomes for patients experiencing stroke and heart attack while ensuring high-quality care is available close to home.  

While the awards are an incredible accomplishment, they represent something much bigger than recognition. They reflect thousands of everyday decisions, hours of training, strong communication between departments, and a shared commitment to doing what’s best for every patient. 

For our community, these recognitions provide confidence that nationally recognized care is available right here in the Texas Hill Country. For our team, they serve as a reminder that the work they do every day truly makes a difference. 

At Peterson Health, quality isn’t defined by a single award or milestone. It’s built every day through teamwork, continuous improvement, and a commitment to providing exceptional care for every patient who trusts us with their health. 

Whether you’re managing a chronic heart or vascular condition, recovering from a cardiac event, or looking to reduce your risk of stroke, Peterson Health offers expert care close to home.
