Importantly, the serious consequences of strokes are being addressed in the emergency department by the Division of Neurology through its 911 Designated Stroke Center. The Stroke Center is the recipient of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association’s prestigious Stroke Gold Plus and Target: Stroke Honor Roll Award Designation, further indicators of BronxCare’s strong commitment to delivering advanced stroke treatment to patients. “Our staff is providing the necessary intervention and often succeeding in reversing the serious consequences of stroke,” stated Dr. Manjeet Dhallu, Attending, Neurology.
