COMPREHENSIVE STROKE CENTER & STROKE INTERVENTION NETWORK

for those we love

OUR STRENGTHS Riverside Regional Medical Center’s Advanced Stroke Network is the first accredited Comprehensive Stroke Center in Southeastern Virginia. Our three other facilities have a Primary Stroke Center designation. Collectively, in 2021, we treated 1,600 stroke patients in emergency departments and 1,500 patients in our hospitals. We offer treatment for strokes at every stage – inpatient, outpatient, long-term care, and specialized rehabilitation.

Riverside is one of the few health systems in the country with a team of neurointerventionalists, highly skilled clinicians who use advanced technologies to identify, diagnose, assess and treat stroke patients. We are able to treat patients faster and improve outcomes with dedicated teams of emergency care clinicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, nurses, therapists and social workers.
