Suspect a Stroke? Act F.A.S.T.
If you or someone you love suffers a stroke, our trained stroke team provides prompt diagnosis and stroke treatment. Experienced neurologists and other clinical experts lead the team.
We offer a coordinated response and specialized care 24 hours a day. Our cutting–edge telemedicine robot, nicknamed Rosie, connects with a remote neurologist within minutes to help the ED doctor identify and treat our stroke patients. With a stroke, “time is brain” and the sooner the stroke treatment begins, the better the outcomes for our patients.
In 2016 Sequoia was re-certified as an Advanced Primary Stroke Center by The Joint Commission. This certification recognizes centers that follow the best practices for stroke care.
In 2017 Sequoia received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get with the Guidelines - Stroke Gold Plus award.
When you or someone you loves suffers a stroke, recognizing the first warning signs and getting expert medical help quickly is critical to maximizing your chances of survival and rehabilitation. Response time can make the difference between recovering from a stroke and having to endure longterm disabilities.
