Advanced Stroke and Neurovascular Care

Metro Detroit’s stroke experts providing diagnosis and treatment in minutes

Every 40 seconds someone has a stroke, making it the leading cause of adult disability in the United States. When you or a loved one is having a stroke, every second counts. If you suspect stroke, call 9-1-1 immediately. The experts at Henry Ford Stroke Center are ready round the clock to diagnose and begin treatment in minutes.

A stroke is when blood flow to part of the brain is cut off. When this happens, brain cells begin to die due to lack of oxygen. Delayed diagnosis and treatment can result in permanent disability or death. That’s why it’s important to recognize the signs of stroke and know what to do in an emergency. And when it comes to treating stroke, not all emergency rooms are the same.
