Stroke treatment
Our stroke center sees on average five to eight “stroke alert” patients daily. We use a streamlined treatment protocol that begins before patients arrive. An emergency medicine physician meet the patient at the entrance. Our doctors then conduct a mobile evaluation while we transport the patient to our computerized tomography (CT) scanner, which is kept on standby for the patient’s arrival.
Stroke rehabilitation
Physical therapy and rehabilitation is often a necessary step of stroke recovery. That's why we employ occupational therapists and physical therapists and speech therapists trained to help patients who have experienced strokes. These therapists work with you and your doctor to personalize a therapy plan to help you make a healthy recovery.
