Additionally, St. Mark's Hospital is a designated Comprehensive Stroke Center, providing the highest level of stroke care possible for complex stroke cases. These facilities have highly skilled, multidisciplinary teams of neurologists, interventional neuro-radiologists, cardiologists, and other specialists who quickly identify stroke symptoms and begin treatment.
