Treatments

Stroke is the number one cause of adult disability and the number three cause of death in the United States. Brain cells that do not have the proper amount of blood flow begin to die within minutes. It takes only 12 minutes for a pea-sized area of brain to die from the onset of a stroke. Treatment is available! Do not wait! If you or someone you know is experiencing the signs and symptoms of stroke (see signs and symptoms) call 911 immediately.

The INI Stroke Center, as a specialized stroke care center, provides treatment options unavailable at many hospitals.
