A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that brings oxygen and nutrients to the brain bursts or is clogged by a blood clot or other particle, keeping part of the brain from getting the oxygen it needs. The staff of the Stroke Unit have been specially trained to work in this area. Their focus, education, and experiences in caring for stroke patients put them in the best position to provide patients with the exact care they need.
