Our Stroke Services

Emergency Care

We coordinate imaging tests and assessments so you can receive the care you need as quickly as possible. 

Inpatient Care

Our team of board-certified neurologists, highly skilled nurses and experienced pharmacists comes together to help you get the best possible care. We monitor your breathing and blood pressure around the clock so we can respond to the earliest signs of potential complications. 

Inpatient Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation starts as soon as you are medically stable, often within a day or two. This proactive approach helps you get back to your normal routine when the time is right. Rehabilitation helps you relearn everyday skills, such as walking or talking, so you can live life on your own terms.

Outpatient Rehabilitation

We help you ease back into daily life with one-on-one therapy sessions. Outpatient rehabilitation may include speech therapy to help you communicate with others or physical therapy to regain use of your arms and legs. Learn more about our outpatient neurological program.
