Stroke Risk Assessment
Stroke is a disease that can affect anyone. However, specific traits and lifestyle behaviors can increase your risk.
Outpatient Stroke Clinic
The Outpatient Stroke Clinic, which focuses on proper follow-up care, is a natural extension of the continuum of services the Stroke Center provides, from diagnosis to treatment through rehabilitation. Proper follow-up care after a stroke ensures patients have the best possible clinical outcomes.
MedStar National Rehabilitation Network and MedStar Washington Hospital Center jointly sponsor a monthly stroke support group called the Comeback Club. Open to the public, the meetings are an opportunity for individuals to share experiences, discuss concerns and find comfort among those affected by stroke.
The Stroke Center has an established track record of progressive and innovative stroke care. Through a partnership with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), our research program provides patients access to the latest treatment options under close supervision of specialists and researchers.
