Know the symptoms of stroke. Do not delay in seeking emergency care.

The Stroke Center at WVU has an emergency response team available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to evaluate and treat a stroke in time to minimize damage.

When a stroke occurs or is suspected, call 911.

The 911 operator will contact an emergency medical service to dispatch an ambulance. When the emergency response team examines the stroke victim, they will contact WVU Hospitals with vital patient information. The Stroke Center team will begin to prepare before the patient arrives at the hospital.

The WVU Stroke team uses the latest treatment options to ensure a greater chance of survival. These treatments can stop a stroke while it is happening or drastically reduce the amount of damage it causes.
