Our Approach to Stroke Care
As the only Comprehensive Stroke Center in southern West Virginia, CAMC has specially-trained neurosurgeons, neurologists, nurses and other staff, a neuroscience intensive care unit for stroke patients, and the latest imaging capabilities to treat the most complex cases 24 hours a day.
When a patient comes to CAMC for stroke treatment, our stroke team:
- Is notified by EMS crews if a potential stroke patient is on the way
- Evaluates patients within 10 minutes of arrival
- Identifies treatment options and gets them under way as soon as possible upon arrival
