What happens during a stroke? According to the National Stroke Association, stroke is a leading cause of death, killing nearly 130,000 people each year, and is a leading cause of serious, long-term adult disability. Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted by a blood clot or damaged blood vessel. The lack of blood flow kills brain cells quickly. Damaged or dead brain cells do not regenerate. For the best outcome, quality stroke care must be delivered quickly to save as many brain cells as possible. Blessing Hospital is a nationally recognized Primary Stroke Center, affirming the hospital’s readiness and ability to provide the highest quality stroke-related healthcare, which includes diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and education. During 2023, more than 370 people came to Blessing Hospital for stroke-related care, nearly 230 community residents took advantage of stroke-related health screenings and 970 people received stroke education through printed materials and in-person presentations.
