Clinical services of the Stroke Program center around F.A.S.T., the Froedtert & 老澳门六合彩图库 Acute Stroke Team. This emergency code stroke team responds to any acute stroke call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. F.A.S.T. provides immediate and experienced neurological expertise to carefully assess the needs and therapeutic options for a stroke patient. Effective and safe treatment of stroke requires patients, and healthcare providers, to "Think FAST" to access immediate expert emergency medical attention. As growing public awareness prompts patients to "Call 911-Stroke is a medical emergency!", F.A.S.T. guarantees an appropriate hospital response unique in the area.
