Our Team

Our team of experts across the state works seamlessly to ensure that every patient in every location receives outstanding care that is tailored to their specific needs.

In addition to stroke specialists and our navigators, care teams can include:

  • Vascular neurologists, who have advanced training in treating stroke
  • Emergency medicine physicians
  • Neurointerventional radiologists, who use minimally invasive technologies to treat vascular conditions of the central nervous system
  • Interventional radiologists, who use minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases
  • Neurosurgeons
  • Nurses specially trained in stroke care
  • Clinical pharmacists
  • Case managers
  • Rehabilitation specialists

Working together, we craft and follow a detail-oriented care plan. Each week, our Stroke Council draws together experts in different fields to determine the best possible approach to each case. This is one of the benefits of working within an institute model – experts in various specialties are always available to collaborate.

Together, our focus is on helping you return to regular activities as quickly as possible, and working compassionately with you and your family along the way.
