“When Good Brains Go Bad – The Consequences of Stroke”
Wednesday, May 12, 2021
Webinar: 1 – 2 p.m.
Did you know you know that you lose almost 2 million neurons per minute during a stroke, and that the loss of neurons after a completed major vessel stroke is the equivalent of 36 years of aging? Team members across the system who are a part of Inova’s well-structured Neuroscience department intervene quickly to treat people who suffer from strokes in Northern Virginia. Hear from several of Inova’s experts in neurologic care to learn how to reduce your risk of stroke, how to quickly recognize symptoms of stroke, and learn what it’s like to treat a disease where every second counts. Learn more about what Inova is doing to help save your brain before, during and after stroke, and how our approach has improved and scaled.
