We know it is important to act fast when you or a loved one is suffering from a stroke. This is why we have a team of experts prepared at all our emergency locations to get you the care you need right away. At Banner Brain & Spine, we provide follow up care and support to help you return to as many normal activities as possible.
A stroke is when blood flow to the brain is interrupted or blocked. Brain cells need blood to survive and when the blood is restricted, these cells begin to die. If not treated as soon as possible, a stroke can cause severe damage to the brain.
While all strokes deal with the blood supply being blocked to the brain, there are three types of strokes including:
Transient Ischemic Attack: This is considered a mini stroke and is caused by a temporary clot and blockage of blood to the brain.
Ischemic Stroke: This is the most common stroke and can occur when a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain is blocked.
Hemorrhagic Stroke: This type of stroke can be broken down to two types: intracerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Our expert emergency teams identify your signs and symptoms quickly to limit the effects of stroke. At Banner Brain & Spine, we have emergency and trauma stroke teams ready to treat you and provide you with around the clock care for a smooth recovery.

When a stroke occurs, blood supply to the brain is blocked and every minute matters. With new AI technology, the time it takes to detect a stroke can be reduced from an hour to minutes, potentially saving millions of brain cells.
