We offer a flight team of physicians, critical care nurses and other specially trained neurosciences staff
on call 24/7. Our unique telestroke program uses telemedicine to deliver nationally ranked care to patients in 30 hospitals across Louisiana and Mississippi and recently cared for its 4,000th patient.
