Strengthen Your Stroke Program with Professional Certification
Certified Professional by the ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥ (CPAHA) certifications help standardize stroke training across key roles—creating a more consistent, aligned approach to stroke care. When stroke coordinators and telehealth clinicians are prepared under the same science‑based standards, teams can operate with shared expectations, protocols, and priorities across locations and care settings.
By taking a coordinated CPAHA certification approach, organizations can strengthen their stroke program, support interdisciplinary collaboration, and reinforce a culture of continuous improvement.
Two Certifications. One Coordinated Strategy.

Stroke Coordinator Certification
Supports health care professionals in the critical role of treating stroke patients while ensuring compliance with clinical standards and driving continuous quality improvement.
This certification equips stroke coordinators with the knowledge and skills to:
- Lead interdisciplinary stroke care teams.
- Implement evidence-based protocols.
- Leverage data to identify gaps, improve performance, and sustain high-quality care.

Telehealth Stroke Certification
Supports health care professionals engaged in delivering stroke care through telehealth across the stroke chain of survival.
This certification validates the knowledge and experience required to:
- Apply foundational telehealth stroke principles.
- Deliver stroke care using standardized evaluation and care delivery frameworks.
- Demonstrate competency aligned with ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥ science and guidelines.
Why health systems choose certification for their employees
Enterprise and bundled options are ideal for organizations seeking to:
- Train and certify multiple stroke team members efficiently, aligning stroke coordinators and telehealth clinicians under shared, evidence‑based standards.
- Strengthen stroke care across the continuum, supporting seamless coordination from onsite care through telehealth as patients transition across settings.
- Support system growth and scalability, enabling consistent stroke care across hospitals, hubs, and spoke sites while simplifying onboarding and professional development.
Designed for system-wide adoption
Various teams benefit from a bundled certification approach:
- Health system stroke programs.
