Stroke Treatment and Rehabilitation Center in Chicago

Stroke Treatment Center

When it comes to stroke, seconds matters. A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. Because brain cells immediately begin to die when deprived of oxygen and nutrients, restoring blood flow as quickly as possible is essential. Early treatment can mean the difference between life, death and permanent disability.

If you or someone you love is experiencing signs of a stroke, you want to be treated in a place that can offer sophisticated care as quickly as possible. Certified as a Primary Stroke Center by the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP), the Insight Stroke Center offers an advanced treatment protocol that provides fast and accurate diagnosis and treatment of stroke.

From the Emergency Department through Rehabilitation, Insight patients receive best-practice care from an experienced, multidisciplinary team of stroke experts. And that means a better chance for survival and recovery.
