Stroke Quality Measures
Vascular neurology is a new medical subspecialty that provides
focused expertise for stroke care and other conditions. The American
Board of Psychiatry and Neurology defines this new physician role as one that evaluates
and treats persons with vascular diseases of the nervous system.
Physicians
who are board certified vascular neurologists have extensive training in treating
vascular events from ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, spinal cord
ischemia, and spinal cord hemorrhage.
St. Mary's Hospital Medical Center has a board certified vascular neurologist on staff or available
for consultation.
