Emory Stroke Center
The Emory Stroke Center is dedicated to fostering better outcomes for stroke care. As a certified Primary Stroke Center, we provide rapid response in diagnosing and treating stroke patients. In addition, our highly-specialized team of stroke experts collaborate at all stages of treatment using the most advanced research and technology available. These unique capabilities are essential to the realization of our ultimate goal — to provide outstanding stroke care to our patients and our community.
Our complete range of Services at The Emory MBNA Stroke Center including preventive education and treatment, including risk assessment, emergency services, diagnostic services, therapeutic services, neurointensive/neurocritical care and rehabilitation services.
Our team is highly specialized, with each doctor having a different, stroke-related background. Most importantly, our surgeons, intensivists and radiologists collaborate with nurses and other staff members who are specifically trained in stroke care, giving you a team of experts attuned to your special needs.
Stroke is a multifactorial condition, so it takes a team of doctors who are trained in specific disciplines (or areas) of stroke care. Our physicians and staff collaborate at every stage of treatment for optimized efficiency and accuracy. This enables us to provide the individualized care you need from referral and diagnosis to treatment and recovery.
The exceptional care we provide also stems from experience. Whereas some hospitals perform specialized procedures on a monthly or yearly basis, as a high-volume center, Emory Stroke Center physicians perform them daily. Physicians and staff bring an acute knowledge and skill to their practice, potentially benefiting patients with more accurate diagnoses and successful outcomes.
In addition to patient care, the Emory Stroke Center team is also dedicated to research, education, and advancing treatment of cerebrovascular disorders. And as an academic center, Emory is abreast of the constant progression of medicine - so much in fact that it often serves as a model for the use of the latest technologies. For patients, this means access to potentially more effective treatments. For physicians, it means shortening the gap between the bench and the bedside.
