Acute Stroke Care Services at Alexian Neurosciences Institute

Our Tests, Treatments, and Therapies

Immediate treatment for stroke is crucial. We work to begin treatment as soon as possible. Local Emergency Medical Service procedures aim to deliver stroke patients to the hospital within ten minutes. Our Emergency Rooms have access to radiologists 24 hours a day to perform and analyze a CAT scan to determine if the patient is suffering from a stroke. Our physicians are then able to intervene and possibly stop the attack. By immediately administering a new generation of clot-dissolving medication, they can potentially avoid any further consequences to the brain.
