Stroke is a type of cardiovascular disease which affects the arteries leading to the brain and the arteries within the brain. Stroke is a medical emergency – call 911 immediately if you or someone you know experience symptoms.
At Valley Baptist Medical Center, a clot-busting medication called tPA is used when medically indicated to reverse strokes – but the medication must be given as soon as possible. Valley Baptist is also the only hospital in the Valley with endovascular stroke procedures, with are performed by specially-trained neurologists in specially-equipped “biplane” cath labs.
The Christmas celebration is being sponsored by the H.O.P.E. Stroke Support Group Advisory Board. For more information, please call (888) 902-5433 (LIFE), e-mail Debbie Diehl at [email protected] or Vicki Andreatos at [email protected], or visit www.FaceBook.com/HopeStrokeSupport.
