About this service
The RVH stroke program is home to the Enhanced District Stroke Centre which includes RVH clinical stroke services and regional planning responsibilities (Central East Stroke Network). We are dedicated to providing the best possible experience for those who are at risk for having a stroke and for those who require care and rehabilitation after a stroke. Eligible patients from across Simcoe County are transported to RVH for assessment and consideration of hyperacute stroke therapy. The goal of these therapies is to improve patient recovery by dissolving and/or removing the clot in the brain: Thrombolytic therapy is used to dissolve the clot. It uses the drug tPA, which must be given at RVH within 4.5 hours from when the stroke started. Patients who are eligible and receive tPA will be transferred back to their home hospital after 24-48 hours of monitoring. Some of these patients may also be considered potential candidates for Endovascular therapy (EVT).
