Certified Primary Stroke Center
In the Event of a Stroke You Want the Best Care Possible
The Joint Commission Certified Primary Stroke Center at Sunrise Hospital offers diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, education and outreach. A trained Stroke Team of doctors and nurses works to identify stroke symptoms as quickly as possible, beginning with emergency medical service workers in the field. By the time a patient arrives at the hospital, the Stroke Team is ready.
The center also increases education and awareness of stroke symptoms to both healthcare professionals and the community. CARF accredited inpatient and outpatient neuro-rehabilitation programs help patients adapt to their new lifestyles as smoothly as possible.
The road to stroke recovery continues with inpatient and outpatient neuro-rehabilitation programs, which are designed to help patients regain physical and speech function, and adapt to their new lifestyles with optimum capabilities.
Every 45 seconds, someone in America has a stroke. In fact, 700,000 Americans experience stroke symptoms every year, making it the third leading killer and the number one cause of adult disability in the United States. NNI stroke specialists are working to change those statistics with help from the American Heart/Stroke Association and other health care organizations.
