Stroke Prevention Clinic
Through the Stroke Network of Eastern Ontario, Brockville General Hospital hosts one of four stroke prevention clinics in Southeastern Ontario. The other sites are located in Kingston, Perth and Belleville. The role of each clinic is to:
- provide streamlined access to diagnostic testing, optimal medical and surgical management and counseling in lifestyle change to reduce stroke-risk for those at highest risk of stroke (e.g. recent transient ischemic attack).
- provide an integrated, comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to stroke prevention and case management for these high-risk patients
- facilitate planning and implementation of primary and secondary stroke prevention strategies for the respective area of the region
- work in partnership with primary care, acute care, stroke rehabilitation, community care access centres and other stake-holders in planning regional stroke prevention strategies
