Stroke Care Services
Overview
When stroke symptoms begin, every second counts. Starting appropriate treatment immediately can help to prevent the devastating effects of this disease that is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in the United States.
Tillamook Hospital is a member of the Providence Telestroke Network , which allows Portland-based neurologists to diagnose and treat stroke patients as soon as they arrive in our Emergency Department. Using two-way video cameras over a secure internet connection, Portland-based neurologists review patient information, and examine and talk with the patient, family members and clinicians to determine the best course of treatment.
A nationally certified Primary Stroke Center, the Providence stroke team includes neurologists, neurosurgeons, neurointerventionalists, radiologists, nurses and therapists who work to quickly diagnose patients and use the most technically advanced methods to remove clots, repair broken arteries that cause strokes, and restore blood flow to the brain.
