As one of only four such units in the U.S., the Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit is revolutionary in Colorado and beyond. It allows on-board diagnosis and critical blood clot-busting medications to be administered en route to the hospital, rather than waiting until after the patient arrives. This time saved can prevent the loss of millions of neurons, reducing permanent damage to a patient’s brain. By working with our local EMS partners, we will change the story for many individuals and their families.
