Stroke Care

Treatments & Conditions

Abrazo hospitals have the expertise in evaluating, treating and managing patients who have strokes. Patients receive accurate diagnosis and efficient care, which is crucial for time-sensitive treatment. This is particularly important in cases of ischemic stroke that are caused by a blocked artery in the brain.

Quick diagnosis by EMS (Emergency Medical Services) results in faster recognition and transport and ensures the best possible treatment of stroke patients.

Patients may recover completely from a stroke days, weeks, or months later. Treatment involves the following:

Lifestyle Changes
Medications
Surgery
Other Treatments—Rehabilitation
