Hospital presented with award from American Heart Association
PLATTSBURGH, NY – The University of Vermont Health Network-Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital (CVPH) has received the American Heart Association’s Gold Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke quality achievement award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disability.
Stroke is the Number 5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, so brain cells die. Early stroke detection and treatment are key to improving survival, minimizing disability and accelerating recovery times.
Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest research- and evidence-based guidelines. Get With The Guidelines – Stroke is an in-hospital program for improving stroke care by promoting consistent adherence to these guidelines, which can minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and even prevent death.
“The Stroke team at CVPH works to continually evaluate outcomes and look for opportunities to enhance the care we provide to stroke patients,” CVPH Clinical Quality Manager Colleen Bell said. “Collaboration across the UVM Health Network and use of American Heart Association resources, such as Get With the Guidelines – Stroke, contribute to meeting best practice standards for stroke patients.” Read more »

Peru Oct. 4, 2022 – Students filled the Peru High School Auditorium this morning for a surprise presentation. Harbor Freight Tools For Schools named Peru High School technology teacher Leif Sorgule a $50,000 National Teaching Prize winner. Sorgule is one of only twenty teachers nationwide receiving the award. As a result, Peru High School’s trades program will receive $35,000, and Sorgule will receive $15,000. In total, Harbor Freight Tools For Schools is awarding $1.25 million to twenty skilled trades teachers nationwide. This year seven hundred sixty-eight teachers applied, with only twenty selected.
Harbor Freight District Manager Chris Edgerton presented the award. He told the student that people working in the skilled trades have a bright future and mentioned the recent natural disaster. Skilled trades will be vital in rebuilding the areas affected. State Senator Dan Stec praised Sorgule and Peru High School for supporting skilled trades and technology programs. He thanked all teachers for the work they do. Student Nate St. Louis praised his teacher’s ability to connect with students personally and maintain a professional atmosphere while keeping the lessons engaging. He concluded, “I’m happy to have the halls at the same time this great man has.” State Assemblyman Billy Jones and Congresswoman’s representative Jonathan Carman also presented recognition certificates to Sorgule.
Principal Matt Berry concluded the program by offering the students this advice. “Whatever you choose to do, love it. Whatever you do, do it with humility and set the standard. All the accolades will follow.”
