Hospital CEO Receives Emergency
|
While attending a meeting for the Colorado Hospital Association in Vail, Colorado, Mr. Brad Cochenennet, CEO of Pagosa Springs Medical Center, began to experience stroke-like symptoms. Mr. Cochenennet was rushed to Vail Valley Medical Center, a 58-bed facility in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Once there, the attending physicians determined that Mr. Cochenennet required an immediate examination from an expert neurologist. At this point, Dr. Chris Fanale, a neurologist at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, "beamed in" to conduct a stroke assessment of Mr. Cochenennet's condition via an RP-LiteŽ. Coincidentally, the doctor and patient had met before under very different circumstances. Dr. Fanale and Mr. Cochenennet had previously worked together to bring a telemedicine system to Pagosa Springs Medical Center. Mr. Cochennet now has firsthand experience of how tele-stroke systems can have a crucial impact in saving lives. Thankfully, Mr. Cochennet made a speedy recovery and was shortly released from the hospital. To view the complete NBC 9 News video coverage of the story click here.
