Controversies in Stroke Care—Acute Interventions

NEXT WEEK: Thursday, Feb. 28, 2013, noon EST

The third and final webinar in the Controversies in Stroke Care series will be a discourse on acute interventions in stroke treatment.

The use of interventional techniques for acute stroke is a rapidly evolving field. This webinar will include discussions about trials and studies for acute interventional treatments. What do the literature and evidence, including the studies presented at the International Stroke Conference 2013, recommend? What does expert opinion and common sense indicate?

The panel will consist of Dr. Richard Latchaw, UC Davis Medical Center, Dr. Robert Ferguson, MetroHealth Medical Center, and Dr. Mark Alberts, UT Southwestern.

Supported by an independent educational grant from Genentech, Inc. and supported by Penumbra, Inc.

Is Telemedicine Coming to Your State?

Currently 19 state legislatures are debating bills to provide for or expand access to telemedicine services. These services can help save lives and reduce the impact of stroke.

If you live in one of these states, you can help make sure stroke patients and survivors in your state have access to telemedicine services. The Stroke Advocacy Network has made it easy for you to ask your state legislators to support telemedicine legislation. It only takes a minute to make a difference for the stroke community.
