Advanced Stroke Care

Where you go for stroke treatment matters. If you suspect a stroke, don’t wait.

Every 40 seconds someone has a stroke, making it the leading cause of adult disability in the United States. When you or a loved one is having a stroke, every second counts. If you suspect stroke, call 9-1-1 immediately.

What is a stroke?

• A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is cut off. When this happens, brain cells begin to die due to lack of oxygen.
• Delayed diagnosis and treatment can result in permanent disability or death.
• That’s why it’s important to recognize the signs of stroke and know what to do in an emergency.
