Welcome to Stroke Care at Stead Heart & Vascular Center, where we provide compassionate and comprehensive care for individuals affected by strokes. Our program is designed to offer timely intervention, personalized treatment, and ongoing support to help patients navigate their stroke recovery journey with confidence and resilience.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, leading to brain cell damage. It's crucial to recognize the signs of a stroke, including sudden numbness or weakness, confusion, trouble speaking or understanding, severe headache, and difficulty walking. If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention by calling 911.
At Stead Heart & Vascular Center, we employ state-of-the-art neuro-interventional techniques to provide rapid and effective stroke treatment. Our experienced team of neurologists and interventional radiologists utilizes advanced imaging technology to diagnose strokes accurately and administer appropriate interventions, such as clot-dissolving medication or minimally invasive procedures, to restore blood flow to the brain.
From the moment a stroke is suspected through rehabilitation and recovery, our multidisciplinary team is dedicated to providing comprehensive care at every stage. We offer a range of services, including acute stroke treatment, neurocritical care, stroke rehabilitation, and ongoing support for patients and their families.
We understand that stroke affects not only physical health but also emotional well-being. That's why we take a patient-centered approach, focusing on individual needs and preferences to tailor treatment plans accordingly. Our team emphasizes open communication, education, and empowerment to help patients make informed decisions about their care.
Ensuring the highest quality of care is our priority. We continually monitor outcomes and participate in quality improvement initiatives to enhance our stroke care services. By staying updated on the latest research and best practices, we strive to improve patient outcomes and optimize the recovery process.
If you or a loved one has experienced a stroke, know that you're not alone. Our team at Stead Heart & Vascular Center is here to support you on your journey to recovery.
