Super proud as Neurovasc@Sunnybrook enrolled the 100th case of EVT for he ongoing ESCAPE-NEXT trial !! This collaborative work with our neurology colleagues is going to be the next big thing in acute stroke care!! Rick Swartz

An enormous thank you to Chris and her family for giving us permission to tell her story. Any symptoms of a stroke (face weakness, arm weakness on one side, acute speech problems) should prompt a 999 call to get to hospital as quickly as possible.

Stroke is a medical emergency. If you experience any of these signs, call 9-1-1. Do not drive to the hospital. An ambulance will get you to the best hospital for stroke care. Learn the signs because when you suspect a stroke, every minute counts. #WorldStrokeDay #Precioustime
