McLaren Stroke Network Sites Earn National Recognitions for Stroke Care Proficiency

Routinely recognized for its care, the McLaren Stroke Network, with programs at multiple McLaren Health Care hospitals throughout the state, has again earned several national distinctions from the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association.

An acknowledgement of the program’s proficiency in its care of stroke patients, honors are achieved by consistently meeting national quality measurements.

“Beginning with the development of the McLaren Stroke Network in 2015, we have worked hard to establish a fantastic team throughout the state who share a dedication to be the frontline of stroke care and provide patients with advanced stroke care right when they need it,” said Dr. Aniel Majjhoo, interventional neurologist and medical director of the McLaren Stroke Network. “These recognitions validate their effort in the service they provide, truly making them assets to their communities.”
