One of Oklahoma's Largest Stroke Units

Comprehensive, Extensive Stroke Care
Every 45 seconds, someone in the U.S. suffers a stroke. If treated quickly enough, the effects of the stroke can be decreased by as much as 30%. Unfortunately, not all hospitals have the necessary personnel, equipment and organization required to rapidly and effectively treat these patients.

INTEGRIS Southwest Medical Center is an exception. Southwest has a comprehensive Stroke Center that includes one of the largest stroke units in Oklahoma. The 25-bed unit occupies an entire floor and includes:

•	Four Neurologists and two surgeons	•	Written stroke protocols
•	Dedicated medical director-Charles Morgan, M.D.	•	A telemetry unit that allows for continuous cardiac monitoring
•	RNs trained and certified in the administration and assessment in using National Institute of Health Stroke Scale	•	Full Time Stroke Coordinator
•		•	Peer Visitor Program for family support

Dedicated Unit Improves Lives
Studies show that patients who received care in a dedicated stroke unit had a 17% reduction in death, an 8% decrease in length of hospital stay and a 7% increase in being able to live at home.*
