Why Choose the INI for Stroke Treatment?

The INI Stroke Center, as a specialized stroke care center, provides treatment options unavailable at many hospitals. We were the first Primary Stroke Center in Illinois to be JCAHO certified by The Joint Commission, signifying that the services we provide have the critical elements necessary to achieve long-term success in improving outcomes for stroke patients.

The Center’s approach of holistic patient care ensures patients receive treatment tailored to their needs and designed for positive long-term health and quality of life.
