TELESTROKE with Intermountain Health Care
During a stroke, a patient loses thousands of brain cells per second. When
treatment is received faster, more brain tissue is saved, and patients
have a better recovery.
We’re partnering with Intermountain Healthcare specialists to quickly
treat patients suffering a stroke. Using secure video technology our care
teams can connect to Intermountain neurologists who conduct real-time
evaluations to determine the best treatment for acute stroke. This may
include the appropriate administration of tPA, mechanical thrombectomy,
and guidance on follow-up care planning.
This program allows our patients and family members to stay close to home
while receiving the best quality of care right here in our community.
