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. 

Our comprehensive approach to stroke care has earned us the  DNV Certification for Comprehensive Stroke Centers and quality recognitions from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. 

We offer 24/7 access to advanced stroke treatment, demonstrating care above and beyond the national standards for care.
