The Pacific Stroke and Aneurysm Center at
Pacific Neuroscience Institute is located
at Providence Saint John's Health Center.
Designated as a certified stroke center by
the joint commission, the hospital holds the
gold seal of approval for clinical excellence.
Our mission is to provide personalized comprehensive
care using leading edge treatments for patients
with stroke, brain aneurysms and vascular
malformations.
Pacific stroke and aneurysm center provides
medical treatment for emergency and scheduled
patient visits.
Recognized by the American Heart Association,
the hospital has been awarded the Target Stroke
Elite Plus Honor Roll, the highest level of
achievement that assures rapid stroke assessment
and treatment.
Ischemic stroke can be painless and that's
actually a problem for us.
So when someone's having crushing chest pain
from a heart attack and inspires them to call
911 and get to an emergency room.
When someone's having weakness of one side
or a sudden difficulty speaking, sometimes
they wait.
And so what I would try to impart is don't
wait.
Call 911 and have them get you to a stroke
center, which is capable of treating you.
Our highly experienced.
Collaborative, multidisciplinary team of neurovascular
specialists includes stroke neurologists,
neurosurgeons, and interventional neuroradiologist.
Providence Saint John's Health Center is a
endovascular capable primary stroke center.
Meaning that we're able to perform the important
functions of mechanical thrombectomy 24/7.
And to remove blood clots and causing a stroke
from the brain.
Patients are diagnosed at our advanced neuro
imaging facilities.
Catheter based interventions and cerebral
angiograms are available to treat and help
diagnose a variety of neurovascular conditions.
When surgical intervention is necessary, patients
are treated at our state of the art operating
suites.
Microvascular approaches may be used to treat
aneurysms or vascular malformations.
Using these techniques allows our neurosurgeons
to safely approach even the most difficult
regions of the brain with the smallest possible
incisions.
Our unique expertise includes non-surgical
and surgical techniques to diagnose and treat
stroke, aneurysms and vascular malformations.
Patients recover in comfortable private rooms
in the care of highly skilled and compassionate
nurses.
Our VIP Garita suites are also upon request.
We work closely with each patient, guiding
and educating them along the way through their
continuum of care, which includes followup
at our onsite clinic.
Facilitated by a stroke survivor, our free
monthly patient support group provides information
on stroke recovery and resources and provides
a forum for patients to learn new coping skills
in the aftermath of stroke.
Our center offers advanced clinical trials
that pushed the boundaries of what we can
offer patients.
Our research studies find direct clinical
applications for patient treatment and recovery.
We routinely provide second opinions on treatment
therapies for aneurism or other vascular malformations.
Our experience with leading edge therapies
and state of the art technologies enable us
to provide treatments that are comparable
to major research universities.
