USA Health Stroke Center

About

At University Hospital, patients receive advanced care from our stroke team that includes emergency department staff, intensive care staff, neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiologists and lab technicians. For care afterward, they may work with physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, dietitians, and social workers. We participate in clinical trials to evaluate new treatment options. In fact, one of our specialists was the first physician in Alabama to repair a nonruptured brain aneurysm using the PulseRider® stent. We also work closely with the local EMS service to ensure that strokes are promptly identified so that the appropriate treatment can begin as soon as possible.
