Stroke Program
From the moment a stroke occurs, North Memorial Health’s stroke team understands the need for seamless care transitions and ongoing collaboration. Our Stroke Program is designed to provide coordinated care from the first point of contact through recovery and rehabilitation.
North – Robbinsdale Hospital
The Comprehensive Stroke Center at North – Robbinsdale Hospital is equipped to treat the most complex stroke cases. We offer a Balance Center, an Intensive Cognitive Program and a range of support groups, helping both patients and their families recover from the effects of stroke.
North – Maple Grove Hospital
North – Maple Grove Hospital’s Stroke Program is a stroke-ready site, meaning we can evaluate, stabilize, and provide emergency treatment to patients with stroke symptoms. Designated by the MN Department of Health and staffed by the same emergency medicine doctors as North – Robbinsdale Hospital, North – Maple Grove Hospital is able to quickly and efficiently begin assessment and treatment. If a transfer is needed to North Memorial Health Comprehensive Stroke Center, all information is easily shared within the system.

In stroke, every minute counts
Stroke is the sixth leading cause of death in Minnesota and the leading cause of long-term disability. It’s also a condition whose outcome relies on the speed of care.
A quick way to remember the signs of symptoms of a stroke is to think BE FAST. Stroke is an emergency.
