The University of Utah (UUH) Stroke Center leads stroke care and
research in the Intermountain West. UUH provides collaborative adult and pediatric stroke
care, including: pre-hospital engagement; remote acute evaluation via the 26-site Utah Telestroke
Network; inpatient vascular neurology, neurosurgery, interventional care; and stroke-specific
inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation. The Stroke Center has consistently achieved the highest
American Heart Association quality awards offered. In recognition of the full-spectrum and high
quality of care, UUHC was designated a Comprehensive Stroke Center by DNV in 2013.
We have 20+ year history of participating in multi-center adult and pediatric clinical trials in
stroke prevention, treatment, and recovery. In addition, UT StrokeNet translational vascular
scientists are currently investigating: animal and translational models of vascular malformations;
thrombosis and platelet aggregation; neurovascular coupling and peri-infarct depolarization;
stroke genetics and population-based genetic epidemiology; and functional imaging used in
development of models of stroke recovery prediction.
