UC San Diego Medical Center         - One of the first five Comprehensive Stroke Centers in the nation

The faster you are diagnosed and treated after a stroke, the better the chances for recovery.

That’s why the Stroke Center at UC San Diego Health System is available 24 hours per day, seven days a week, providing an immediate response from a team of specialty-trained experts.

After a stroke, our practitioners find and treat the source or cause of the blockage to prevent another stroke.

 UC San Diego Stroke Center practitioners are internationally recognized as leaders and experts in the fields of acute stroke care, prevention and neurorecovery, rehabilitation and research.
