The Western NC StrokeNet is led by Wake Forest Baptist Health (WFBH), a pioneer in research to improve transitional care and outcomes after stroke. WFBH has partnered with 3 sites to develop this comprehensive network, which includes 4 of the 6 Comprehensive Stroke Centers in North Carolina in the middle of the Stroke Belt region. Together, Wake Forest Baptist Health (regional coordinating center), Novant Forsyth Medical Center, Novant Presbyterian, and Mission Health will work together to successfully implement StrokeNet trials in the Piedmont Triad and Western NC, and design new stroke treatment trials. The referral and telestroke outreach of our network includes the Piedmont region and nearly all of NC west of the Piedmont, and part of southern Virginia.
