Stroke Center
When every second counts, you can count on us.
Minnesota’s first comprehensive Stroke Center
The Stroke Center at Regions Hospital is Joint Commission certified. That means you’ll get the highest level of care, no matter how minor or severe your stroke. Our Rapid Response Stroke Team is onsite 24/7 to quickly assess and treat your unique needs.
And our expertise doesn’t stop at your immediate stroke care. Our onsite rehabilitation program has stroke-certified rehab specialists, who will help you recover and regain your independence.
What you can expect
While a stroke is often unexpected, we’re here to care for you. Our coordinated team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, emergency doctors and other specialists work together. They’ll get you from diagnosis to treatment as quickly as possible, giving you the best chance for a full recovery.
Treatment may include medication, minimally invasive procedures or surgery. Once you’re stable, you’ll focus on recovery. This may include inpatient and/or outpatient therapy from our stroke-certified rehabilitation specialists. Occupational, physical, speech and aquatic therapies are just some of the ways we’ll help you work toward getting well.
