Michigan Stroke Network Information

The Michigan Stroke Network, founded by Trinity Health, is a collaborative network of hospitals working together to deliver the most comprehensive stroke care in Michigan. By using telemedicine, the latest in communication technology, physicians at participating hospitals will have access to some of the finest vascular stroke specialists in the nation. This way, stroke patients can get quality medical care when they need it. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or bursts. The result can be as serious as brain damage or death. Prompt treatment is essential to protect brain cells. Member hospitals within the Michigan Stroke Network have 24-hour, 365 days a year access to highly specialized neuroendovascular technology that can mean the difference between life and death for many stroke victims. Member hospitals also receive around-the-clock access to vascular and neuroendovascular specialists, as well as certified neuro critical care, and access to rapid transport (helicopter or ambulance) and cutting-edge technology that will allow them to consult with leading neuroendovascular specialists across the state of Michigan.
