Regional West is certified by The Joint Commission as a Primary Stroke Center.

Research from the American Stroke Association shows that a patient at a Primary Stroke Center receives a higher level of care with fewer complications, spending less time in the hospital and rehabilitation.

We provide certified stroke care 24/7, 365 days a year.

Stroke is often treatable if care is received as quickly as possible after onset of symptoms.
