When Stroke Happens, Minutes Matter

When you or a loved one is experiencing a stroke, seconds count, so it’s very important that stroke sufferers receive treatment immediately.

When a blocked blood vessel in the brain causes a stroke, our team is ready to act quickly, treating eligible patients with a clot-busting medicine to open the blockage.

HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center is a Certified Primary Stroke Center. As a Joint Commission stroke center, our team meets or exceeds quality measures. Patients affected by stroke, seizure or other acute needs can get to us quickly and safely via local emergency medical services—helping our team stabilize and treat them as soon as possible.
