Dr. Ali Saeed serves as the Stroke Program Director at Memorial Healthcare.

As a result of the organization’s efforts to bolster its stroke activations, Memorial Healthcare has achieved exceptional results in the first “golden” hour of those presenting to the emergency department with stroke symptoms. Memorial Healthcare has the ability to utilize telestroke capabilities to provide expert consultation on the administration of Alteplase, a potentially lifesaving clot-busting drug, and can quickly transfer patients to surrounding Comprehensive Stroke Centers if needed.

“It is extremely important to act fast if you or someone you love is having signs of a stroke,” said Dr. Saeed. “With a stroke, the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced and brain cells begin to die in minutes. That’s why it’s critically important to seek immediate emergency care.”
