Stroke care
Stroke is the #1 leading cause of adult disability throughout the US and the world. When blood vessels in the brain are blocked, malformed or begin to bleed, oxygen is cut off from critical areas of the brain, often leading to a stroke.
Fortunately, here at the CHI Memorial Neuroscience Institute we have an internationally renowned medical team to combat stroke and its potentially deadly and debilitating effects. CHI Memorial has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Heart-Check mark for Thrombectomy-Capable Stroke Centers.
