HCC's Stroke Center treats patients who have had strokes and TIAs (transient ischemic attacks). TIAs produce stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage; about 20 percent of patients who have a TIA will have a stroke within a month.

The hospital provides a variety of emergency stroke treatments at both its New Britain General and Bradley Memorial campuses; education for hospital inpatients and the community on stroke risk factors and warning signs; and referrals for rehabilitation and other services.

The Hospital of Central Connecticut is designated by the Connecticut Department of Public Health as a Primary Stroke Center, making quality stroke care easily accessible to Central Connecticut residents when minutes count.

The goal of the designation is to decrease premature deaths and disabilities associated with stroke and help to ensure rapid evaluation and treatment of stroke patients.

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel becomes blocked by a clot or bursts, interrupting blood flow to the brain. Deprived of oxygen and nutrients, the brain begins to die, resulting in disability or death.
