Stroke Clinic

UConn Health also has a dedicated stroke clinic available to anyone who is at an increased risk for stroke, has warning signs for a stroke, or has had a stroke or mini-stroke in the past.

If you fit this criteria, the specialized staff will assess your likelihood of having a stroke and will work with you to create a plan just for you to help reduce your risks.

Stroke Prevention

If you are at an increased risk for stroke, or have had a warning sign such as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), UConn Health’s Neurovascular Program can assess your risk factors and develop individualized management strategies that can help reduce your risk of suffering a stroke.

• Cardiology
• Ear, Nose, and Throat
• Neurology
• Neurosurgery
• Occupational Therapy
• Physical Therapy
• Radiology
• Specialized Eye Care

When appropriate, patients can also receive follow-up care from experts at the UConn Center on Aging who understand the often complex needs of older patients.
