ECU Health Medical Center's neurological surgery department exceeds the national benchmark for the American Heart Association's stroke quality measures. ECU Health Medical Center serves as the regional leader for a stroke system of care, partnering with regional hospitals within the ECU Health system to optimize care. The hospital—which earned Comprehensive Stroke Center designation from The Joint Commission in July 2018—is home to the region’s only Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit, with 24 beds dedicated to neurosurgical and neuromedicine patients. It is the only hospital in our service area providing 24/7 endovascular care. This designation underscores our dedication to caring for people suffering from stroke and supporting their care needs before, during and after a stroke may occur.
