At least one neurologist and nurse are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to respond quickly to stroke patients who are brought to the medical center. The Stroke Team is active in distributing information regarding signs, treatment and prevention of strokes to hospital employees, patients, and the surrounding community.
