Dr. Ahmed and his crew spent last week in New Orleans at the International Stroke Conference learning about the latest science in stroke care from top scientists, researchers, and neurologists worldwide. This is just one way we bring world class stroke care to our region. 🧠

High cholesterol is one of the biggest risk factors for stroke. Ask your doctor if you need a cholesterol screening! 🧠

Where did that S come from anyway? We’ll probably never know. But we can easily know our cholesterol numbers. It just takes a simple blood test. Check in with your doctor about your numbers.

Every second mattered for our patient and our staff rose to the challenge. Thank you to our emergency department team for your excellence in stroke care. 🧠
