Stroke Care

Stroke Telemedicine

Many Ohio hospitals participate in stroke treatment through telemedicine, with a “hub and spoke” model of care. “Hub” hospitals are those with advanced expertise and the capacity to treat patients with complex strokes. Hub hospitals provide stroke treatment through specialized telemedicine equipment to stroke patients in “spoke” hospitals. This allows many more stroke patients statewide to remain in their local hospital and receive high-quality treatment from local specialists in collaboration with experts from larger hub hospitals.
