Eddy Scurlock Stroke Center
Comprehensive Stroke Center
The Eddy Scurlock Stroke Center is the first DNV-Certified Comprehensive Stroke Center in the United States. The Center has been recognized as one of the best in stroke diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and recovery. Choosing a hospital with comprehensive stroke certification ensures that you will receive the highest possible level of stroke care. Patients have better outcomes with fewer complications than at other area hospitals. The Eddy Scurlock Stroke Center offers a coordinated, interdisciplinary rapid-response system for treating stroke victims. Our exceptional team of physicians and highly dedicated nursing staff provide immediate stroke intervention and care. From the onset of symptoms, patients receive the very latest treatments with the hope of the best possible recovery.
An important component of our continuum of care is our Stroke Outpatient Clinic for continued care following a stroke. An appointment with our physicians is required to confirm a stroke diagnosis. Records and test results from referring physicians are required before the initial
appointment.
