The University Hospital Stroke Program:
Cerebrovascular Disease is a leading cause of death and disability all over the world.
The Newark region has one of the highest incidences of stroke in the country.
UMDNJ has identified stroke as one of the main areas of specialization to specifically address this major public health problem.
The UMDNJ Cerebrovascular Program and Stroke Center provides a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, specialized team approach, offering the best possible medical care that could be provided for stroke patients.
The management of stroke has recently undergone revolutionary changes
There is increasing emphasis on rapid evaluation of patients suspected to have stroke with quick identification of patients that are likely to benefit from treatment options.
The University Hospital has a multi-disciplinary Brain Attack Team (BAT) working around the clock that is able to provide the complete range of services essential for patients with stroke.
The specialists on call include stroke neurologists, neurological critical care physicians, neurosurgeons and neuro-interventionists
We have developed a simplified, streamlined protocol to rapidly respond to your questions and referrals on brain attack patients.
If you think you have had a stroke, or would like to speak with on of our physicians at UMDNJ, call (973) 972-2550 to make an appointment
