Stroke
When a stroke occurs, the experts at Wellmont Health System are ready to step in and care for patients, saving lives and minimizing damage.
As the first certified primary stroke center in the region, the Primary Stroke Center at Bristol Regional Medical Center leads the way in exceptional stroke care. Bristol Regional is a founding member of the Appalachian Regional Stroke Center Network.
The Primary Stroke Center at Bristol Regional has full neurological coverage 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The professionals at the stroke center also provide their expertise to the member hospitals of the ARSCN when a patient presents with stroke. Along with Bristol Regional, Lonesome Pine Hospital is a founding member of the ARSCN, and Holston Valley Medical Center also provides specialized stroke care.
This means patients in even the most rural areas of Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia can receive the most effective stroke care quickly. And the faster a patient receives treatment in a stroke, the better the outcome is likely to be.
