Our mission:
To improve stroke care and prevention in our region.
Our vision:
L&M Hospital’s stroke program is a comprehensive approach emphasizing education and state-of-the-art intensive treatment to prevent stroke and improve the outcome and quality of life for stroke patients.
Why is having a "Primary Stroke Center" so valuable for the community?
Each year approximately 700,000 Americans suffer from a new or recurrent stroke. A stroke occurs every 45 seconds in the United States, and is the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer. According to the Department of Health in Connecticut more than 1,800 residents die each year from stroke.
L&M Hospital is one of ten hospitals in the state of Connecticut with both the Joint Commision and CT Department of Public Health designation of Primary Stroke Center--recognition of the high level of care we provide for stroke patients and their families.
What does this mean for you and those you care about?
According to Daniel Moalli, M.D., Director of L&M’s Stroke Center, “This certification...reflects our deep commitment to front-line stroke care in eastern Connecticut and southern Rhode Island. This certification is critical because it means patients can count on L&M to deliver the highest level of stroke care across the continuum of care.” In addition to Dr. Moalli, a team of highly competent staff lead the efforts in acheiving and maintaining this unique designation.
In diagnosis and treatment of stroke, time lost is brain lost. Our standard of care insures that patients receive optimal treatment in the least amount of time, promoting better outcomes.
