Charles Morgan, MD Medical Director, INTEGRIS James R. Daniel Stroke Center

The INTEGRIS James R. Daniel Stroke Center, located at INTEGRIS Southwest Medical Center, is the first of its kind in OKC—a dedicated stroke unit with four neurologists and nearly 100 National Institute of Health Stroke Scale certified physicians and nurses.

And because "time is brain"—the more time lost, the more severe the effects of the stroke—the Stroke Center has a specialized ER stroke response team that meets each patient the second they come through the door.
