Telestroke

When stroke symptoms begin, every second counts. Starting appropriate treatment immediately can help to prevent the devastating effects of this disease.

Adventist Health Lodi Memorial uses state-of-the-art technology — the telestroke robot — to connect with UC Davis neurologists and neurosurgical team to consult on patients who are suspected of having a stroke. The camera is extremely powerful and is controlled remotely by UC Davis stroke specialists. It allows a very accurate exam so that patient care begins immediately.
