Kathleen’s Story: Innovative Treatment and Technology Saves the Life of a Stroke Patient

Kathleen Brooks is grateful to the Emergency Department team for quickly diagnosing her stroke, calming her fears and administering advanced treatment.

Kathleen woke feeling incredibly weak and nauseated, unable to lift her left leg. Her husband urgently called 911 and Kathleen was rushed to HealthAlliance Hospital, a designated Primary Stroke Center. Within minutes, the team administered a life-saving medication to break up the blood clot in her brain and restore movement to her leg. By the next day, she was walking again, a remarkable recovery thanks to her knowledgeable caregivers.
