Stroke Center
When you have a stroke, every second counts. During a stroke, there is a lack of blood flow to the brain, which causes damage. The faster you get treatment, the better chance you have of minimizing damage and making a more complete recovery.
Stroke Care You Can Count On
New Hanover Regional Medical Center’s Stroke Program is recognized for fast and expert stroke treatment. Care starts as soon as EMS arrives, assesses the patient and activates the stroke team at NHRMC. Once you arrive, the radiology team, stroke nurses and neurologist are waiting to do more thorough evaluation and testing.
