–The Joint Commission has awarded a certificate of distinction to Twin Cities Community Hospital for advanced certification as a primary stroke center.
To achieve this distinction, Twin Cities underwent a rigorous, on-site review where reviewers evaluated compliance with related certification standards. The standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement experts, and patients. The reviewers also conducted onsite observations and interviews.
“The distinction recognizes Twin Cities Community Hospital’s quality, caring, and commitment of staff and physicians,” said Mark Lisa, CEO of Tenet Health Central Coast. “During a stroke emergency, about two million brain cells die per minute and this certification signals to the community that they are in expert, caring hands at Twin Cities in their time of critical need. We are extremely proud to have Advanced Certification as a Primary Stroke Center.”

Coach’s comment: I’m nominating Robbie Lardner, varsity Pitcher THS for athlete of the week. On April 17, Robbie started on the mound vs. SLO High School. He pitched a complete game, 7 innings, gave up 0 earned runs, and struck out 18 batters. He also went 3 for 4 at the plate with a double and scored 3 runs. It was a total dominating game on both sides for him and definitely his best game of the season to date. What’s more impressive is he did this against a D1 school, THS is a D3.

–Twin Cities Community Hospital in Templeton, California, has been named to the California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS) and Cal Hospital Compare Maternity Honor Roll for excellence in maternity care and, in particular, its low rates of cesarean section births (C-sections).
Childbirth is the number one reason for hospitalization in California (and the United States). For mothers, overuse of cesarean sections (C-sections) can result in higher rates of complications like hemorrhage, transfusions, infection, and blood clots. The surgery also can bring risks for babies, including higher rates of infection, respiratory complications, neonatal intensive care unit stays, and lower breastfeeding rates.

Coach’s comment: Alex Dahlen is our player of the week. Alex led the offensive attack for the Eagles in their loss to AG on Saturday at home. She went 3 for 4 with 2 RBI’s. Alex has been a strong force offensively for the team this season and is directing the outfield from her position in center field. Alex is a great natural athlete and uses her ability to add consistency to the team offensively and defensively. Her hard work and constant smile are a big part of the team’s success. –
