For a condition where every minute matters, having specialized 24/7 stroke care is everything.

Here’s how Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center provides nationally-recognized faster-than-average stroke response care:

  1. Highly-trained EMS pre-notify the Center of a potential stroke patient.
  2. A specialized emergency room stroke team is available 24/7 (this is unique) to provide immediate advanced treatments.
  3. Stroke response nurses transition the patient to post-stroke care.

The result: Fast, advanced response + a full continuum of care saves lives and improves recovery outcomes.
