Stroke Treatment
Stroke can affect anyone, anywhere. So we're empowering our community to recognize the signs of stroke with educational and early prevention programs. And, if stroke strikes, no matter where you are in Central New Jersey, you're minutes away from some of the most advanced stroke care. That's because Meridian Health is home to five nationally accredited Primary Stroke Centers at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Ocean Medical Center, Riverview Medical Center, Southern Ocean Medical Center, and Bayshore Community Hospital - each with specialized teams of stroke experts poised to stop the advance of a stroke. And, with the Meridian Transfer Center, we connect you to the region's only Stroke Rescue Center at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where nationally renowned neurosurgeons perform groundbreaking stroke rescue procedures.
Meridian hospitals have been recognized for achievement in using evidence-based guidelines to provide the best possible care to patients through The American Heart Association / American Stroke Association's Get with the Guidelines program, a hospital-based quality improvement program that empowers health care teams to save lives and reduce health care costs by helping hospitals follow evidence-based guidelines and recommendations.
