Stroke Prevention Clinic

The Stroke Prevention Clinic (SPC) provides quick assessment and access to diagnostic services and treatment for patients at high risk of suffering a stroke. The clinic aims to reduce the incidence of stroke through:

  • Early assessment and treatment
  • Risk factor screening and management
  • Patient and health-care provider education on stroke prevention and lifestyle changes
  • Medical care and/or referral for surgical care

The SPC team includes Stroke Neurologists, Stroke Prevention Nurse/Nurse Specialists, and Administrative Assistants. At the clinic, the patient will meet with the Stroke Neurologist and the Stroke Prevention Nurse/Nurse Specialist to discuss their risk factors. Patients may receive treatment, have testing and be referred to a specialist. Care is based on individual needs.
