Stroke Center – Neuroscience Center
When a stroke takes place, there is a brief window of opportunity in which to save areas of injured brain. To minimize disability, it is critical that stroke victims are evaluated and treated quickly. St. Alexius Medical Center is one of few hospitals in the region to have responded to this challenge with a primary stroke center staffed with a multidisciplinary team of stroke experts who provide 24-hour rapid response. We strive to reduce death and disability and improve the overall quality of care for people afflicted by stroke. Stroke care starts in the Emergency & Trauma Center and continues through inpatient hospitalization and rehabilitation. Our leading edge intensive care unit and radiology facility ensure the highest standard of care and the most accurate diagnostic techniques. |
The skilled and experienced medical team at St. Alexius, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, emergency physicians and specially trained nurses, have assembled a rapid response program geared toward fast and accurate diagnosis and immediate treatment. Emergency personnel in the Level II Trauma Center are attuned to the needs of stroke patients and follow rapid response protocols. The Stroke Center’s comprehensive level of care extends beyond hospitalization as specialists provide stroke prevention education, extended rehabilitation care, support groups and follow-up care.
