Stroke Units

A Stroke Unit is a specialized hospital area dedicated to caring for patients who have experienced a stroke. It brings together a team of healthcare professionals—such as neurologists, nurses, therapists, and speech-language pathologists—who work together to provide rapid diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. The goal is to minimize brain damage, improve recovery chances, and reduce complications. Being cared for in a Stroke Unit has been shown to significantly increase the likelihood of better neurological outcomes and survival, making it a key component in effective stroke management.
