COLUMBUS, Ohio – This month marks the 10th anniversary of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Telestroke Network that delivers critical stroke expertise to patients suffering strokes across Ohio.
“One of the major goals of the Telestroke Network is to increase access to advanced stroke care in regions of Ohio that don’t have neurovascular and neurosurgical physicians. When someone is taken to one of those emergency departments with stroke symptoms, experts are mobilized both there and at Ohio State through a ‘stroke alert,’” said Dr. Deepak Gulati, a neurologist and stroke specialist at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center Comprehensive Stroke Center.
