Stroke Center

At UofL Health, we are committed to being one of the top hospitals in the country for providing aggressive, proven stroke care. Residents of the Louisville and Southern Indiana region who suffer a stroke can be confident they will receive the highest level of stroke care possible here.
We have received the Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association for nine straight years. The award recognizes our commitment to and success in implementing excellent care for stroke patients.
In February 2013, UofLÂ Hospital became home to the first Joint Commission-certified Comprehensive Stroke Center in Kentucky, and the 20th in the nation. This accreditation recognizes our ability to provide the most comprehensive stroke treatments available.
In 2011, we became the first hospital in Kentucky to receive the Target: Stroke Honor Roll Award from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association for our commitment to providing tPA (a medication that dissolves blood clots) promptly after patients arrive at the hospital.
Our mission is to provide quality, individualized healthcare to our citizens and reduce the incidence, morbidity and mortality of stroke through direct care, community education and research.
Stroke Survivor and Caregiver Support Groups
UofL Health stroke care doesn’t end when you leave one of our hospitals. Many stroke survivors and their caregivers experience a range of emotions as they adjust back to normal daily activities. Our stroke team is here to help. Join us for our FREE support groups where you can enjoy talking openly with others who share similar experiences.
