Stroke Program

Stroke is the sixth leading cause of death and one of the leading causes of disability in Minnesota. The Minnesota Stroke Program is committed to reducing the burden of stroke in the state through raising stroke awareness in the community, providing continuing education to health care providers, and working to improve the entire system of care for stroke patients.

  • Minnesota Stroke System

  • Stroke Hospital Designation. We designate hospitals as acute stroke ready hospitals, primary stroke centers, and comprehensive stroke centers in our statewide system of stroke. Get in touch with Stroke Team staff.
  • Minnesota Stroke Registry

  • Our statewide registry of stroke patient quality of care data captures over 90% of all stroke patient visits in the state.
  • Emergency Medical Services and Stroke

  • We work with EMS agencies to improve statewide stroke care in the pre-hospital setting.
  • Transitions of Care

  • We work with hospitals to put systems into place to improve care to stroke patients after they leave the hospital.
  • Public Awareness of Heart Attack and Stroke

  • We teach the public the signs and symptoms of heart attack and stroke and the importance of calling 9-1-1 through advertising and community education efforts.
  • Resources

  • Find all of the documents, tools, guidance documents, and resources produced by the Stroke Program for our partners.
