Our multidisciplinary stroke team includes emergency medicine physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists and rehabilitation specialists. Together they provide a coordinated rapid response system for treating stroke patients.

The team quickly determines if you are a candidate for tPa (the only FDA-approved medication for acute stroke). If not, standard therapy begins immediately. And because our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with high-quality CT and MRI scanners to help diagnose and confirm the type of stroke without delay, you can get the treatment you need quickly.

Our Stoke Coordinator RNs work in tandem with our expert physicians to educate patients and their families, as well as assist in the transition of the patient from the hospital to home or rehabilitation.

Mount Carmel has an exemplary record in the evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of stroke patients, earning recognition from the National Stroke Association as a designated stroke center.
