The Stroke Center
Kingston Hospital’s Stroke Center provides a full continuum of stroke treatment and care to get patients back to, as much as possible, a normal pre-event lifestyle. By using a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, Kingston Hospital Stroke Center aims to provide faster, more effective care which enhances patient outcomes, prevents complications, shortens the time before a patient starts moving, promotes early rehabilitation, and reduces the patient’s stay in the hospital. Kingston Hospital Stroke Center provides:
- Immediate emergency care
- Rapid assessment of a patient’s condition who show stroke symptoms
- Comprehensive care throughout hospitalization
- Multidisciplinary treatment, including, but are not limited to, medical, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy, as well as social work services
- Nurses trained in stroke care, including stroke certification through the American Heart Association and NIH stroke assessment scale certification.
