Washington State Emergency Cardiac and Stroke (ECS) System

A 2010 state law created the Emergency Cardiac and Stroke (ECS) System similar to the state's Trauma System. It's intended to save lives and reduce disability for heart attack, cardiac arrest and stroke patients. Emergency medical services (EMS) take patients directly to hospitals that meet care requirements and choose to participate in the system.
