WHERE YOU GO FOR STROKE CARE MATTERS

BARRY’S STORY

I was getting ready for work, and suddenly I couldn’t talk or move my hands. My wife immediately recognized I was having a stroke and called 911. An Overlook Medical Center stroke neurologist began my treatment, in the ambulance, using telestroke technology. When I arrived at the hospital, they were ready. I received clot busting medication within a record breaking 14 minutes of arrival. Healthgrades ranks Overlook among the top 5% of hospitals for stroke care, nationwide. Now I know why.
